The biggest startup mistake? Focusing too much on the product and not enough on the Why. Investors & customers don’t just buy what you do—they buy why you do it. Define your Why, and the rest follows. #Startups #Innovation #Leadership

Carbon credits: The good, the bad & the future. 🌍💰
✔️ They fund climate action & offset emissions
❌ But greenwashing & double counting threaten their credibility
💡 AI & blockchain could fix this—will they?
