partnership spotlight: founders live - rye strategy blog

RyeStrategy is excited to announce our recent partnership with Founders Live. Founders Live is the global venue and network that gives tens of thousands of modern entrepreneurs the opportunity to earn global recognition, gain new business opportunities, connect with other world class entrepreneurs, access important growth capital, and truly become rockstars.

As a leader in the global innovation community, Founders Live encourages others to join them in taking a stand to make the changes necessary for improving our environment. With a mutual interest in the carbon neutrality agenda, our partnership with Founders Live helps connect their network of organizations who share similar sustainability goals to our carbon neutrality services and expertise. In line with this partnership, Founders Live is one of the most recent organizations to sign the Software & Professional Services Carbon Neutrality Pledge, and will be collaborating with the RyeStrategy team to achieve neutrality by 2023. 

Late last month, our Founder and CEO, Cooper Wechkin, was able to sit down with Nick Hughes, Founder and CEO of Founders Live. Nick and Cooper had an engaging and truthful conversation about the status of the world's climate and the immense challenges we are facing with the rising CO2 levels and the resulting effects. They start with a bit of background on Cooper, how and why he started RyeStrategy as a college student, and what the vision is for the company. We learn more about what services they are offering, as well as the Software & Professional Services Carbon Neutrality Pledge. To listen to the episode, please visit the Founders Live’s podcast here.

If you are the founder of a small business, we also encourage you to stay connected with Founders Live by liking them on Facebook, following them on Instagram, and following them on LinkedIn. To join their founders network as a member, please visit their membership page

At a broader level, if you and your organization are looking to improve your impact, we encourage you to look into the Software & Professional Services Carbon Neutrality Pledge -- there are an increasing number of organizations such as Founders Live who are ready to commit to a greener tomorrow, but true change will only be achieved when we collaborate across firms and industries to counteract the damages of our operational activities.
