In this episode of Emotional Business, Olga Skipper is joined by Alex Farcet—entrepreneur, impact investor, and co-founder of the Raspberry Syndicate, a collective investing in climate tech startups across Europe and Africa.
From Silicon Valley to corporate boardrooms, from personal crises to purpose-driven leadership, Alex has lived many lives. Through each, he’s discovered that alignment—between values, risk, and passion—is the true north of entrepreneurship.
This conversation explores:
- How family health crises reshaped Alex’s approach to risk and business
- Why ego is both a driver and a danger in leadership
- The art of evaluating founders beyond pitch decks
- Networking as an introvert (and why it works)
- The role of intuition in entrepreneurial decision-making
- How storytelling and creativity shape impact ventures
- Why climate tech is a calling, not just a market
If you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or leader navigating risk and purpose, this episode offers both honesty and inspiration.
