Let’s Solve the World’s Biggest Problems Together!
Hi, we are Mark and Norma November, the founders of Venture Starters. When we say, “Let’s solve the world’s biggest problems together,” it’s more than just a statement; it’s a call to action—a mission to unite thinkers, innovators, dreamers, doers, and disruptors around the shared belief that collaboration through networking can transform the future. It’s an open invitation to you to join our movement that doesn’t just dream of a better world but actively works to create it.
This phrase acknowledges a truth we cannot ignore: our world faces challenges. Climate change is threatening ecosystems. Healthcare inequities leave millions vulnerable to preventable diseases. Tens of millions die annually from treatable illnesses. Despite living in an age of abundance, hunger and poverty persist. Mistakes and inefficiencies cost not just money but, in many cases, lives. Wildfires demand disruptive technologies to mitigate their impact. Polluted water threatens communities. Access to the internet—a modern necessity—is still unequal. Women startups are treated unequal by venture capitalist. AI, robotics and more are transformational. How can we deploy them for social good? Plus so many more challenges that needs solving.
These challenges are not isolated; they are often deeply interconnected, requiring solutions as complex and multifaceted as the challenges themselves.
But rather than feel overwhelmed, we see these challenges as opportunities for startups to solve. Venture Starters exists to harness the potential of innovation, collaboration, and bold thinking. Our community is where startup founders, visionaries, and problem-solvers can connect, support one another, and accelerate their progress.
Through Venture Starters, people from all walks of life come together to support the startup ecosystem. This is a platform where optimism turns into action—where the next breakthrough might be sparked by a single pitch in a Venture Starters Zoom meeting.
When we say, “Let’s solve the world’s biggest problems together,” we mean it’s time to empower startup founders to step up. It’s about bold ideas that can revolutionize industries, scientists rethinking the limits, and young entrepreneurs building the tools to make tomorrow sustainable.
This is a call to action that places responsibility in all of our hands. Whether you’re a student with a dream, a seasoned professional with expertise, or an investor ready to fuel the next big idea, you all have a role to play.
Solving the world’s biggest problems demands time, effort, and the courage to engage. It requires that enough of us show up to Venture Starters Zoom meetings, to connect, to learn, and to act.
Let’s answer this call. Let’s seek and support the solutions, and build the future that we all deserve.
You can play a huge role by attending Venture Starters’ free weekly Wednesday Zoom meetings and engage with our vibrant community and become part of the change. We need all of you, including investors whose aims are to profit by backing the innovators.
When we all work together, there’s no challenge too great, no problem too big. Together, we can solve the world’s biggest problems—and leave a legacy that changes history.
We are Venture Starters. We are the community that supports startups.
All of our Zoom meetings are free to pitch at and free to attend.
Mark & Norma November
