    • Entrepreneurship

Allbirds has been called the “world’s most comfortable shoe.” The company is certified as a B Corp and has remained committed to eco-friendly manufacturing and sustainable products.
Prior to founding Allbirds, co-founder Tim Brown was a professional soccer player with stints in The United States and The United Kingdom, as well as his native country New Zealand.  Tim earned a master's degree both from The London School of Economics and from Northwestern University, as well as a bachelor's degree from the University of Cincinnati.
We hosted Tim last year for a virtual session with our portfolio CEOs, and we wanted to share an adapted version of that conversation.
