Welcome to The Capitalist Hippie
A storytelling and strategy platform for entrepreneurs building profitable, climate-conscious companies. Founded by entrepreneur and marketing leader Marco Pimentel, it exists for those who believe sustainability isn’t just a value—it’s a competitive edge.
This community is made for those who’ve sat in boardrooms and thought:
“There has to be a better way.”
Through deep-dive podcast interviews, bi-weekly newsletters, and an engaged network of founders, operators, and investors, The Capitalist Hippie offers practical insight into what it really takes to build values-driven businesses that scale.
How it started
In 2022, we found ourselves asking a question we couldn’t shake:
Can for-profit businesses be good for the planet?
Not in theory. But in real life. With customers. Revenue. Investors. Impact.
What started as a curiosity became a platform to amplify the voices of entrepreneurs proving that doing good and doing business can happen at the same time.
