02 Okt What it means To Be Determined – Nicole Winchell from TBD*
Do you sometimes feel alone with your ideas to change the world? You want to work in a company that cares for a better world and social impact but don’t know how to find them? These are the questions that Nicole, Nadia and Naomi had in Berlin a few years ago. And from the kitchen table, they set off to change it. Today, TBD.community is Germany’s largest on- and offline community for people interested to change the world via social enterprises and other projects.
In the interview, we talk about how TBD started and grew to a success story the last years, about their business model, how the three of them got together with their common vision and what people in social startups do wrong..
