16 Sep From Investment Banking to Social Entrepreneurship: hellosmile CEO Farhad Attaie Explains

For some people, the path to career success is crystal clear. But Farhad Attaie is not some people, well at least not anymore.

Farhad is the Co-founder and CEO of hellosmile, a health management company that is transforming the delivery of pediatric health services to underserved communities in New York City. He is also a founding member of Factory and the Co-founder of Do.Live.Love.—a social community driven by the goal of creating a better world.

If Farhad’s bio reads particularly touchy-feely, you may be surprised to learn that the rising entrepreneur began his career at Merrill Lynch Investment Bank with a single, solitary goal: get rich. But after only a few years on the job, he knew it wasn’t the right fit.

In this episode of The Next Crop, Farhad and I discuss:

  • How to build a business that’s built around social change
  • The power of discovering and promoting the “why” behind an idea
  • The evolution of mission-based companies and what it means for consumers
  • How hellosmile is trying to change the pediatric healthcare landscape
  • Which business models are best suited to affect global change
  • How social entrepreneurs can improve their approach and execution
  • The future of healthcare in America for children and adults.
