Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Elton, and I am part of the founding team at build3.

I love to write and interview interesting people. And I love watching impact founders grow and build startups. So, I decided to merge the two and create a podcast and newsletter for folks like yourself.

People who are interested in building startups for profit AND purpose.

The “AND” is essential.

Building startups solely for profit can be detrimental to everything around us. Building exclusively for purpose may make your path to financial sustainability murky.

And that's why build3 exists. To help founders (and wannapreneurs) build startups that create a positive impact AND are financially sustainable.

Through this podcast, I will shine the spotlight on social impact startups that have successfully managed to marry profit and purpose; helping you learn how the founders went from a fledgling startup idea to scale , and everything in between.

I am excited to be part of this journey with you. Let's dive right in!

P.S When I am not working, you can find me on the basketball court trying to get my Jordon on or getting “voluntold” to sing an Elton John number 😉

    When I was interviewing Udit, what struck me was how gracious and humble he was even after pulling off a near-impossible task.

    Through Ecoright, Udit and his wife Nikita upended the notion that sustainable fashion has to be expensive. Their range of bags are stylish yet affordable. Not to mention good for the planet and everything around us. (Ecoright is a certified B-corp - the gold standard when it comes to businesses that do good)

    I sat with Udit to learn more about how he built Ecoright

    Enjoy!
