What does it take to turn visionary ideas into sustainable solutions? And what keeps that from happening? Despite countless great ideas, many fail to become lasting solutions. Laura Hilty explores the pitfalls that keep transformative innovations from reaching their potential. We must embrace risk intelligently, collaborate, and listen deeply to build for a change where we can save more lives through innovation. Ultimately, we must fall in love with the problem and balance conviction with curiosity. Laura Hilty is an operator-turned-investor who helps companies grow by staying relentlessly focused on the right problems. Over the past two decades, she has worked with founders and leadership teams through moments of rapid change—launching new products, shaping strategy, leading acquisitions, and serving on boards of early-stage companies. Her experience has taught her that organizations rarely fail for lack of vision; they fail when they lose touch with the problems they exist to solve.
