Vegan Business Tribe Podcast

The 5 ways to fund or finance a vegan business. You might think if you just come up with a great idea then an investor will throw money at your business! Well, I'm afraid it doesn't work like that. Investors are out there, even vegan ones who share your ethics, but usually a company will have to either self-fund or borrow money to grow before they get to the level of success needed to attract investment. But don't worry, help is at hand! In this episode, David looks at the five different ways that your business can raise funding, from self-funding and borrowing, to investment and crowdfunding. He also explores some more creative ways you might be able to generate cash to grow - remember that if you need to borrow money then there are other routes than banks!

We celebrate 100 episodes by bringing you a special interview with one of our Vegan Business Tribe members. In this special celebration episode, David is joined by award-winning vegan filmmaker Damian Sciberras who has worked for some of the biggest vegan activists in the world. But jump back just three years ago and Damian was mainly making corporate videos for non-vegan companies, until a health diagnosis turned his world upside down and made him massively reconsider the direction of his life and career. We explore how Damian managed to 'veganise' his business and use his skill set to move the vegan cause forwards, whilst at the same time working out how to make a living in a way that aligned with his ethics. We also share the recordings that have been sent in by our members to celebrate 100 episodes, and David invites you to join us on a special free online event on the 10th of May 2023! --- With thanks to our amazing vegan sponsors: Vegan Accountants - Use an accountant that understands your ethics and mission as a vegan business. www.veganaccountants.co.uk The Vegan Publisher - Transforming business owners or entrepreneurs into bestselling authors. www.theveganpublisher.com MAD Promotions - The vegan PR agency.

How to create a better profile picture. Let's admit it - most of us use quite a boring photo of ourselves for our online profile pic. You are never going to convince people that you are an expert in your field if your profile picture is some selfie or out-of-date image that looks like your school yearbook photo. In this episode, David looks at how to get a profile photo that stands out and whether or not you need to use a professional photographer to create one. He also explains why magazines and websites will be more likely to publish your story if you can provide a great image of yourself to accompany it. ------------------------- With huge thanks to our sponsors: Vegan Accountants Use an accountant that understands your ethics and mission as a vegan business.
