\u201cThis online event is an amazing opportunity for entrepreneurs and founders to get into the \u2018head\u2019 of a US-based angel investor and discover their rationale for investing. Marcia Dawood has such a positive message and her book is a rallying cry for those who want to do good, to consider investing in impact focused for profit companies.\u201d explained M\u00e1ir\u00edn.<\/span><\/p>\n

In her TEDx talk Do Good While Doing Well, Marcia Dawood said: \u201cIf we really want to effect change, we can start to invest in the things we care about on a much larger scale. It also includes where we spend our time and finding ideas being worked on that haven\u2019t reached the public yet to support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to start to look at for-profit companies as well as non-profits. After spending an award-winning career in sales, marketing and operations for one of the largest education providers, Marcia Dawood now works on making people\u2019s dream come true.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
