I interviewed @StanfordGSB alumna extraordinaire @soniafer to learn more about the Spanish tech ecosystem. She shares her knowledge and experience - a great primer on building a career and a fund in a growing tech market: earthrise.dev/sonia-fernande…

Why did Clif Bar sell?
Clif Bar famously walked away from a sale in 1990s to build a purpose driven company, focused on a 'different bottom line' that included people, community and the planet. And it grew tremendously.
