Fairtalks #2: Founding a startup to challenge an entire industry - with Bas van Abel
Welcome back, everyone! Episode 2 of our Fairtalks podcast and we've got a good one for you: Where better to start than at the very beginning, with the guy who kicked it all off? We're jumping into 2020 with Fairphone's origin story - from only existing as an ideal and on a business card, to our very first trip to the mines in the Congo and the rollercoaster ride of trying to change the electronics industry from within. Our founder Bas van Abel shares his unique perspective from behind the scenes of a growing social enterprise, as we discuss how we made it from humble beginnings to Fairphone 3. We really see a lot of potential in taking this podcast format further than our little recording studio in the office. As we dig deeper, we’ll include our community each step of the way. So here is your chance to let us know what are your burning questions and where would you like to see this podcast go over the next few episodes. All the best, Jan & Miquel.
