Post by Founders Pledge

What a fantastic conversation at London Tech Week! 🎤 It was a pleasure to bring together three Founders Pledge members for a discussion on Beyond the Exit: What Will Founders Be Remembered For? Joining the discussion was Marta Krupinska, CEO & Co-Founder of CUR8, Kathryn Petralia, Board Member at Cloverly, and Marie Outtier, hosted by Erin Platts, CEO of Octopus Ventures. While each panelist brought a different perspective and experience, there was a shared sense that building a successful company is only one part of the story. The conversation explored how founders think about impact, responsibility, and purpose as their influence grows, and how those questions often become more relevant as a company matures. “If you start early, impact is painless. You’re not giving something up, you’re pre-committing to something you’ll be proud of later.” If you’d like to find out more about becoming a Founders Pledge member and continue the conversation, connect with Lara Raven. #LondonTechWeek #FoundersPledge
