One of my points to ponder from the recently concluded 2015 Global
Entrepreneurship Summit aka #GES2015 was from Daymond
John, the founder and CEO of urban clothing line, FUBU
which he founded at the tender age of 20. Daymond is also a co-host of the
shark tank show. One of the questions he was asked in Citizen TV one-on-one
interview was whether he had any plans to invest in Kenya. Among the things he
looks out for in investment opportunities, he looks for “things have some level
of a social cause” a double bottom line. This is so that in case the business
doesn’t work out, there is something else beneficial out of it. This is after
he had mentioned that he closed down FUBU 3 times when he ran out of money and
reopened every time he got some money.
