Should I prioritize growth, profitability, or long-term sustainability?

Welcome back to another insightful episode of Ask a CFO! I'm James Vanreusel, Founder and CEO at Vanreusel Ventures, and I'm thrilled to have you join us today. 

In this episode, we tackle a question that often plagues startups and companies alike when they're raising funds or engaging with investors: Should they prioritize growth, profitability, or long-term sustainability? We'll explore each term individually, dissecting the implications and considerations associated with them. 

Whether you're a VC-backed startup seeking rapid growth, a mature company aiming for profitability, or an organization focused on environmental and social impact, we've got you covered. Join us as we navigate the intricacies of these approaches and shed light on how they shape your business trajectory. Let's dive right in!

Key takeaways:

• Choosing between growth, profitability, and long-term sustainability depends on factors such as the investor type, business model, and long-term goals.
• VC-backed startups prioritize rapid growth, while profitability indicates a more mature stage of development.
• Long-term sustainability encompasses ESG factors and influences talent attraction and retention.
