Description
“If you were trying to find the perfect company to invest in, you’d never make a single decision. There are always trade offs.”
Tom McGillycuddy and Matt Latham are Co-Founders of CIRCA5000, an impact investing app based in the UK. The pair created the app to make it easier for people to put their money into sustainable businesses, without it costing the earth and say they’re banking on a future that humanity features in.
The pair tell host Laura Nesbitt why everyone should care where they’re investing their money, they share their top tips on how beginner investors can get started and explain why CIRCA5000 gaining B Corp status was a huge milestone for their company.
