What is the best advice you have received as an entrepreneur?
We asked this to different founders from our community. Listen to the answer from the founder of @mypilz
We also want to listen to yours! Tell us!
🌍
This week and thanks to @climate_lab_at we got to see the Caritas centre for sustainability and social justice.
🧵 First off, they’ve got an incredible Textile Workshop (Textilwerkstatt) where they’re making everything from beeswax wraps to cushions and even handmade carpets! They also handle special requests from companies, which is pretty awesome.
🍞 We also checked out Le+O, their food rescue project. It’s a massive operation with around 1,000 volunteers collecting food from supermarkets and big companies. They manage to use 95% of the donations they receive, distributing it to various organizations and non-profits.
🔨 At their Wood Workshop (Holzwerkstätte), they’re giving long-term unemployed individuals a chance to gain experience in carpentry.
📱 Now, here’s something about phones—Magdas Recycling. Every year, they get around 300,000 mobile phones donated. About 60% of these phones get a second life. They have from iPhone 7s to Samsung models and even some vintage gems (see the picture!)
Speaking of shopping, have you checked out the WIDADO Online Shop? They’ve got about 3,700 items across different categories, and while it’s still gaining traction, it’s definitely worth a browse.
🛋️ And if you’re searching for furniture, Carla’s got a Furniture Depot with options for both individuals and businesses. They’ve even got a showroom where you can see everything up close!

Advice for founders and entrepreneurs is abundant, but what about insights you can hear directly from them? Here’s a piece of advice shared directly by the founder of @veloconcertsvienna , @jonasskielboe . Would you like to see more advice like this? Let us know in the comments.
At Impact Hub Vienna, we host a vibrant community of impact entrepreneurs who are driving positive changes in society, the climate, and more! Visit our Linktree to explore some of our current opportunities, events, programs, and more!
What are some examples of businesses that are considered part of the social entrepreneurship world? For exploring the answer to this, I joined the Grätzl Impact Tour!
Here’s a glance of what we visited:
☕ @ototo_vienna Store & Coffee which serves as a platform for local, small and sustainable brands, that are also quite aesthetic. If it wouldn’t be for this shop, some of the brands would have less opportunity in the market. @ototo_store
✨ NOW WOW with beauty products without chemicals and plastics. Now wow partners with associations to decrease plastic pollution. Shoutout to Cleanhub! @nowwow.shop
🌿 WE Bandits, a sustainable fashion brand whose owner, Sophie, opened up on the challenges that founders face when starting a sustainable fashion brand. @webandits
🌊 Revo Foods, which recently won a prize on sustainability. They create salmon inspired spreads and food. Find their products in Billa! @revo_foods
My takeaway from this tour is the power that small businesses can have to create a change. Is change only driven by sme´s and entrepreneurs? I already have in mind my next visit…. ..🔋🚚♻️🔥🚮. Can you guess it?
The opening ceremony of the olympics is a bit more than an hour away and we discovered some nice facts about this year’s edition.
We decided to go out and play two truths and one lie about sustainability and entrepreneurship in the olympics!
Did you know about their accelerator program for boosting social entrepreneurship?
What’s the best advice you have received? We asked this question to an impact entrepreneur and an impact investor to see how much they align!
Here are the answers from Ryan Grant Little and Katharina Herzog @moneycare.at
We want to hear from you! What’s the best advice you’ve received? Have you checked the special announcement at the end of this video? Go to our link in bio!
Did you know that 141 million tonnes of plastic packaging are produced every year?
Despite many producers claiming their products are 100% recyclable, only 14% of this plastic is actually collected for recycling.
Peter Wilson recognized this significant issue and proposed an innovative solution: the Wilson Guide.
Check out the pitch from Wilson, one of this year’s Grow program finalists! 🌟
What’s social entrepreneurship? How does it exist and performs outside the books and the theory?
@dilara99kutay had these questions and decided to join our team to explore more about it. Here in Vienna, she will talk to founders, experts, general public, and whoever wants to talk to her about social entrepreneurship! Follow her journey which she name Dilara’s Summer of Impact.
