Start Small, Think Systems.

Esade Impact Talks Series

Norrsken House Townhall / 22 January / 18:30-20:30

We're partnering with ESADE Center for Social Impact and ESADE Careers to bring you a fresh series spotlighting emerging trends, bold thinkers, and unconventional paths in the impact ecosystem.

This first talk dives into something we love: outlier entrepreneurs who don't just design products – they redesign entire systems.

While most founders start by building a solution, some take a different approach: they first understand the system they want to change. These are the builders who challenge existing structures and create solutions that don't just fit into the system – they reshape it.

In this session, you will discover:

• Why starting small can create massive ripple effects when rooted in systemic thinking
• How early-stage founders identify leverage points that shift entire ecosystems
• Real stories from impact entrepreneurs disrupting norms rather than adapting to them
• Practical insights for anyone building a venture that aims to transform how things work

Whether you are exploring the impact sector, building your own venture, or seeking inspiration from innovators redefining the rules, this talk will offer fresh perspectives and actionable learnings.
