In this Best of episode, Timothée Parrique, PhD in economics specializing in degrowth and post-growth theories, shares why the current way we measure GDP is a poor indicator of the quality of life. It's an indicator that was created in the 1930s and does not reflect the social well-being of the people and the eco state of the planet. We then go to discuss what "value" means today and what should be the real factors that bring value to the economy and the well-being of the people.

If you are into nature tech, greentech, regenerative economy, product-market fit. This episode is for you.

Is it possible to make economy regenerative? Can we make e-commerce, fintech and other digital sectors more sustainable? And prove it.

Handprint are on a mission to regenerate the planet with the help of digital technology and partnerships. They want to change the narrative and convert our extractive economy to an economy that benefits nature.

They do exactly what it says on the label - they help companies increase their handprint, the sum of their positive impact on the world’s environmental and social ecosystems.

Their platform provides nature credits. A nature credit assigns a value to nature’s services, like that companies are not just reducing their environmental footprint, but they are also helping to regenerate and preserve nature.

If you are into clinical research, life science, pivoting, founder sales or company culture. This episode is for you.

If you could do just one thing that would impact the lives of one million people, what would it be?

This question nudged Maya to find a solution to help people.

Millions of patients around the world need treatment, but they do not know if it exists and how can they get it. At the same time new drugs and therapies are available for free in clinical trials.
FindMeCure bridges the gap between patients and clinical trials.

Building any medical or pharmaceutical product is one of the hardest things you can do, because it's an extremely regulated market. Then add building a marketplace on top of that with a typical chicken and egg problem, and you are facing a very difficult challenge. But my guest overcame that challenge.

Maya Zlatanova is the CEO and Co-founder of FindMeCure. She is also developing TrialHub, a platform that empowers doctors and researchers with data intelligence to plan over 6000 successful clinical trials.

They have helped two million patients to search for clinical trials and have doubled their team size from 10 at the beginning of the year, to currently 25 FTEs.
Today we are going to talk about 💡How to pivot, how to get to product market fit and how to deal with clients in the highly regulated clinical trials industry 💡

You will also learn:
- What’s the difference between recruited and supported patients in clinical trials
- How to do a mom test
- What are the challenges in clinical research and how to navigate the corporate structure
- Maya’s founder-led sales tips
- How to create good team culture
