Brett Hurt: Public Benefit Corporations Can Have It All
Manage episode 312609067 series 3239028
Brett is the CEO and Co-founder of data.world, which is building the most meaningful, collaborative, and abundant data resource in the world as a Certified B Corporation. He is also a seed-stage investor at Hurt Family Investments in partnership with his wife, Debra, and previously founded several companies such as Bazaarvoice and Coremetrics.
In this episode, we discuss the key characteristics of B Corporations, why you can “have it all” by converting to that legal form, how to convince your investors and partners to convert, and how it impacts the board not only legally but also behaviorally.
We also address topics such as communication with board members as an entrepreneur, investor, advisor, and board member. Finally, we discuss the level of transparency conducive to productive culture as well as to what extent the board should be involved in shaping mission, vision, and culture.
If you want to follow what’s happening in the data world or the startup community in Austin, check out what Brett is up to at https://medium.com/@databrett and http://lucky7.io/.
