Openly autistic entrepreneurs often face both admiration and discrimination, with their traits being heralded simultaneously as both “superpowers” and their “Achilles’ heel”. This creates unrealistic expectations, by placing autistic founders on a pedestal, while also upholding harmful and ableist stereotypes.

Positive relationships are at the core of any successful company. However, unlike business-to-consumer (B2C) interactions, business-to-business (B2B) customer relationships can have far more depth and impact because they are truly partnerships. And when these relationships are successful, the benefits flow outward and improve the reputation and standing of the entire company.

We have many problems in the sustainability industry. I remember the days when finding data was like going on a scavenger hunt that often resulted in nothing. We used search engines to look for specific data and statistics, but the ESG specific terminology that can be used by different industries and in different contexts, usually resulted in irrelevant search results.

It’s become a sexy term, and will always play an important role in the startup ecosystem. Angel investing continues to be a rewarding journey - and to be told ‘you’re such an angel’, has a very specific meaning for me. I will unpack my thesis and approach for any cheque I write. This culminates in founders who balance depth of innovation, degree of impact, and their direct experiences from intersectionality. These 3 ‘i’s make them investible “intersectional incredibles”, and is why I’m launching iiF by i³ investing.
