Hanna Eastvold-Edwins (Climate & Impact Ventures, NZ) hits a jurisdictional wall — 'New Zealand does not have a #PublicBenefitCorporation structure, which is the first of Eric's recommendations'
A climate-venture builder in New Zealand downloads the transcript of Eric's NEW ECONOMIES interview, works through the three steps he gives founders — become a public benefit corporation, have directors swear an oath to the mission, appoint a mission guardian — and finds step one unavailable in her jurisdiction. She has booked time with Parry Field Lawyers to work out what to do instead for a new seaweed venture.
“It is unfortunate, however, that #NewZealand does not have a #PublicBenefitCorporation structure, which is the first of Eric’s recommendations.” — Hanna Eastvold-Edwins on LinkedIn
