    This work examines the venture development processes of sustainable entrepreneurs, i.e., entrepreneurs who create profitable companies that also pursue environmental or social causes. We identified and analyzed over 20 successful sustainable entrepreneurs in various industries. Obtained are insights into how these unorthodox entrepreneurs initiated, grew and built their exemplary companies.
