I believe that innovation and enterprise will be the solutions to many problems we face. As such, my motivation in building Third Space was to create a profit-making business with social impact at its heart. The Founders Pledge fits with this ethos and I'm very pleased to be able to commit any value I create to charitable causes alongside a community of like-minded entrepreneurs as part of a movement for change.
