Federica Torgneur (Founder & CEO, Reveevo · ex-McKinsey · INSEAD MBA) — 'Someone had put into writing everything I had been thinking about building mission-driven businesses'

Federica Torgneur — founder & CEO of Reveevo (mission-driven circular resale platform for home goods; ex-McKinsey; INSEAD MBA) — publishes a rich recap after completing the Incorruptible Early Stage Founders Cohort, the six-week program led by Marny Sumrall around the book's mission-lock governance framework. Confirms the cohort worked through: fiduciary ranking, embedding mission across the org, mission-related failure modes, and specific legal/governance protections. Also serves as existence proof of Eric's community program.

“Last week I wrapped up an inspirational six weeks of the Incorruptible Early Stage Founders Cohort.   In the past months, I have been deep into researching legal and governance frameworks for founders building mission-driven businesses. Thanks to a webinar hosted by PURPOSE®, I learned about Eric Ries's new book, Incorruptible, which turned out to be one of the best books I read recently (can't recommend it enough!). Most of all, I finally felt like someone had put into writing everything I had been thinking about building mission-driven businesses that do more than maximizing shareholder value.   For those who haven't read Incorruptible yet, Eric argues that companies drift from their mission because of "financial gravity," the structural pull of investor expectations and short-term incentives that erodes even well intentioned organizations as they succeed, with the results, at times, to damage (if not even kill) the company itself. His answer is to build protection in early through mission-locked governance, before success makes the mission a target worth stripping away.” — Federica Torgneur on LinkedIn
