Fail Forward | The Food Edition

Featured image

At Impact Hub, we believe that failure and experimentation are essential to developing innovative businesses that make real impact. So for our popular Fail Forward event we invited three impact entrepreneurs to share stories about their challenges, experiments and, of course, what they learned along the way. Get inspired by our speakers and learn how to follow your dreams and overcome your least successful experiences!

Line-up
Kitchen Republic‘s founder Emma Veerhuis. Kitchen Republic believes that innovation no longer comes from large institutions and corporations but from the bottom up. That’s why it’s more important than ever that artisan food companies organize themselves in a smarter, more efficient way to increase their rate of success. They therefore, created a one-of-a-kind platform that fuels food entrepreneurs with insider knowledge, a powerful industry network and with an accessible work, production, and meeting space in Amsterdam-West.

Normal is Over Documentary Screening + Q&A

Featured image

We are living in unprecedented times. We all know that the current pandemic will have an impact on entire societies and economies on an unparalleled scale. How this will unfold remains uncertain, but one thing we know for sure: normal is over. We’ve brought together filmmaker, Renée Scheltema, and the economist, Kate Raworth, to discuss this period of transition.

The New Normal Foundation and Impact Hub Amsterdam invite you to the virtual screening of the award-winning documentary, ‘Normal is over‘. Simultaneously screening in 10 different countries, the live stream will be followed by an unmissable Q&A with the filmmaker, Renée Scheltema, and the renegade economist, Kate Raworth. Creator of the internationally acclaimed framework, Doughnut Economics, Kate focuses on developing the economic mindset needed to address the social and ecological challenges facing our planetary household in the twenty-first century.

About ‘Normal is Over’

‘Normal Is Over’ is an award-winning documentary about humanity’s wisest responses to climate change, species extinction, resource depletion, income inequality and the intersections between these issues. The filmmaker, Renée Scheltema, takes off on an international journey searching for solutions. A film that connects the dots, it takes a good look at the financial and economic paradigm underlying our planetary problems, while offering various solutions to reverse the path of global decline. See the trailer here.

Details

16:00 – 18:00 – Screening ‘Normal is Over’
18:00 – 19:00 – Q&A with Renée Scheltema & Kate Raworth

Price: €10 (proceeds after costs will be donated to the New Normal Foundation to support their work and the creation of future impactful documentaries!)

Note: During the event, we will have an introduction and stream the documentary live, followed by the Q&A. For those who may not have as much time on the day, we will send you the link to the documentary 1 week before the event. You can watch it in your own time and then join the Q&A from 18:00 – 19:00 to dive deeper into these topics.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

Unpack Impact 2020

Featured image

Fundraising can be one of the most challenging activities for female entrepreneurs. Hear about the dos and don’ts of collaborating with financiers for societal change during Unpack Impact 2020!

According to a recent report by TechLeap, barely 5.7 percent of all investments in Dutch startups went to companies headed by women in the past ten years. This huge disparity translates into unequal investment amounts, where startups founded by men received an average of 5.6 million euros in 2018, compared to just 1 million euros going to those founded by women. While providing ALL entrepreneurs with funding opportunities is necessary for an equal and just market, mixed-gender teams also perform better. International studies show that startups and stakeholders that embrace diversity are more versatile and resilient. What’s more, investing in women-led endeavours generates double impact: more funding opportunities provided for more entrepreneurs leads to more social impact! It’s a win-win.

Keynote
Our special keynote speaker is Hedda Pahlson-Moller, founder and CEO of TIIME, addressing the Impact Imperative and adopting a values-aligned approach to mobilizing capital towards a more equitable future.
Hedda is a private investor, independent director, adjunct professor, and advisor on issues related to impact finance, sustainability and diversity management. Hedda is an active board member on funds and organisations working with and towards triple bottom line and positive societal impact. Her focus is on inclusion, gender-lens investing and climate change financing.

Cases
Mariah Mansvelt Beck, co-founder of YONI, a growing brand specialising in organic cotton tampons, pads and liners all while sharing knowledge on periods, as well as sexual and reproductive health in their fight for sustainable and equitable business. Mariah will discuss her experiences with investment and investors. It’s been quite a ride already and a lot of lessons learned, to share with entrepreneurs and investors alike.

Followed by a conversation with Bertrand van Leersum, investment manager at Borksi Fund, which invests in female entrepreneurs. The major banks of the Netherlands are the current investors in the fund, and they are looking for more investors, such as family offices. With his expertise in the field, Bertrand will discuss the importance of supporting women on their investment journeys.

Impact Hub Amsterdam Report: COVID-19 as a Tipping Point

How the crisis connects – and how it may accelerate the transition to a sustainable food system.

Climate change. Loss of biodiversity. Famine and obesity. A national nitrogen crisis. Our current ways of food production and consumption are not sustainable. The call for change grows louder – and is now accelerated by COVID-19. Does COVID-19 provide the much-needed tipping point for change?

This report investigates two timely questions: how has COVID-19 impacted sustainable food entrepreneurs? And how can we use these insights to accelerate the transition to a sustainable food system?

One of the key findings: COVID-19 stressed the importance of resilience. It cleared schedules to focus on new, long-term strategies, and gave rise to an important means to resilient and innovative entrepreneurship: collaboration. Interested to learn more? Read the report here: https://bit.ly/COVIDFoodReport (in Dutch, with an English summary).

Covid-19 as a Tipping Point was created with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality, Stichting DOEN, and Amsterdam Impact.

Food Ecosystem
This report is part of Impact Hub Amsterdam's Food Ecosystem. The Netherlands is the second largest exporter of agro-food products worldwide. What if we used this position to make a real impact across the food chain and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable food system?

Circulair ondernemen, doe je samen

Featured image

In de transitie naar een circulaire economie worden ondernemers steeds meer gevraagd na te denken over onze keten en hoe we inkopen. Hoe transparant moet je zijn naar je klanten? Wat mag je verwachten van je leveranciers? Hoe denk je in oplossingen in plaats van problemen? Je wilt wel innovatief zijn, maar hoe en wie gaat dat betalen?
Om ondernemers te helpen bij deze vraagstukken, organiseren we deze circulaire meetup dat volledig in het teken staat van samenwerking in de circulaire economie. De meetup wordt geopend door expert Erick Wuestman die zijn inzichten deelt over het belang van samenwerking om uitdagingen in een circulaire economie aan te gaan en de transitie te versnellen.
