Summary
"Eva Yazhari, Founder & CEO of Beyond Capital Ventures—a firm investing in high-growth companies across emerging markets, led by conscious leaders balancing profit + purpose. One theme stood out: awareness drives everything. 3 takeaways: Nothing is neutral. Every decision—time, money, energy—creates impact. Think local to find purpose. Connection isn't out there. It's right in front of you. Awareness beats outcomes. Fear-based decisions kill growth. Possibility creates it. --- Eva Yazhari is an experienced investor, author, and advocate for conscious capitalism. As Managing Partner of Beyond Capital Ventures, she leads early-stage investments in East Africa and India, focusing on essential sectors with the potential to impact millions.
