- Description
- For decades, Ben Cohen has treated business as a vehicle for political and social advocacy, building Ben & Jerry's into a global brand known for its activism. Today the brand’s voice is being challenged by its corporate parent, prompting Cohen to call for “freeing” the company he founded and reclaiming its ability to stand for its values. In this candid conversation, Cohen explores what it truly means to lead a mission-driven company in a world where governance protections can erode, corporate power challenges your mission, and founders must weigh the real trade-offs among autonomy, growth, and sustaining a purpose-led mission.

- Raising capital isn’t just about pitch decks and calculating your valuation. It’s a mix of strategy, timing, resilience, and the kind of lessons one can learn only by being in the room. It also raises a fundamental question many founders grapple with: Does taking outside capital mean giving up control of your company? In this candid conversation, founders who have raised significant capital will unpack what to consider before bringing on investors, how ownership, governance, and long‑term vision can shift once you invite others to the table, and everything in between. Together, they reveal the real lessons behind their biggest raises and what it takes to stay in the driver’s seat while scaling big.

Inc. editorial assistant Annabel Burba recently spoke with Tovala founder and CEO David Rabie about exactly that topic. Rabie opens up about how his startup nearly ran out of runway and how a series of pivots and emergency funding rounds saved it. His big takeaway? “I no longer count my chickens the way I used to.”
On this episode of The Business Model, Annabel joins Inc. senior editor Tim Crino to discuss why Rabie’s story stuck with her and what early-stage founders need to know about fundraising, including why the timing of when you raise can matter just as much as how much you raise.

Explains, we break down how artificial intelligence, automation, and generative AI tools like ChatGPT are transforming the entry-level job market. Tasks once done by junior workers, research, data analysis, coding, administrative work, are now being automated across software engineering, law, and finance. With youth unemployment near post-pandemic highs and companies like Amazon cutting jobs while pushing automation, traditional white-collar career paths are shrinking. Startups including Eudia and Gaia Dynamics now expect AI fluency. In today’s brutal hiring climate, becoming an AI-powered employee may be the new entry-level advantage.

- The next big thing in artificial intelligence probably won’t look like OpenAI or Anthropic.
"Companies aren't really attempting to make their own big, foundational AI models anymore," says Ben Sherry, lead AI reporter at Inc. “Where founders are at today is saying, 'I don't have the money to make an AI model because it costs billions and billions of dollars and months and months of time and thousands of people. But I can use the AI that's available and create a really killer application or collection of services that will kind of help me stand apart or solve a really specific, niche issue.’”
Ben recently hand-picked eight companies that are poised for massive growth this year. On this episode of The Business Model, he shares with Inc. reporter Chloe Aiello how he made his list and why these companies could be the next big thing — even if they’re not the next OpenAI.

- Why is Silicon Valley going to war? For decades, America’s defense industry was dominated by a handful of legacy contractors. Today, a new generation of young startup founders is reshaping the future of warfare. Sam Blum explores how tech entrepreneurs and politicians are coming together around national defense. As rising geopolitical tensions with China, patriotism, and massive defense budgets expand the market for autonomous weapons and AI, Silicon Valley is becoming inseparable from America’s military future. Perhaps most notably seen at the annual Hill & Valley Forum.
