The World Seems on Fire, Should You Start Your Vegan Business Now?
Is now the right time to start a vegan business or any social business, considering how unpredictable the world seems?
We say YES.
The economic climate might be challenging, but as vegan entrepreneurs, we are not here just to make a profit. We are here to make a difference. Purpose-driven entrepreneurship is our way of creating change, and right now, the world needs businesses that put people, the planet, and animals first more than ever.
Yes, it takes extra resilience to stay focused and not get discouraged by global events. Yes, it requires a strong mindset to keep going. But if you can build a business now, imagine how much easier it will be when the tides turn.
And let’s be honest. Even if you had started in a more stable time, the future is always uncertain. Businesses launched in 2019 had no idea that a global pandemic was just around the corner. The issues we want to solve—climate change, animal exploitation, and more—are pressing and demand action today. Waiting will not make them disappear.
Animals are still exploited for their meat, milk, and skin. CO₂ emissions remain high, and we all know that animal agriculture is a major contributor. Forests need to be protected from further destruction, and we need solutions that help people transition to a more sustainable way of living.
This is where you come in. Your service or product can be part of the change we all want to see. Maybe you offer coaching services to help people adopt a vegan diet. Perhaps you create vegan, sustainable handbags that make it easier for consumers to choose ethical fashion over leather. Your vegan education platform could empower activists with strong arguments, or your app might help people find the best vegan deals. You might even run a vegan travel agency that not only ensures a fully vegan travel experience but also inspires hotels and restaurants to expand their plant-based offerings.
No matter how small or big your business is, every step counts. We are all contributing to a bigger shift—creating a world that is kind to all: humans, animals, and the environment.
The world needs your kindness and courage now more than ever. If you feel called to start a vegan or social impact business, now is the time. The world needs more people like you to step up.
And if you need support or some mindset tools to stay on track, we are here to help. Let’s talk!
