This week on the Built Different Podcast, we’re joined by Carlo Chen-Delantar—Partner & Head of ESG at Gobi Partners and 2025 Executive Treasurer of JCI Manila—as he unpacks what it really takes to build, back, and grow ventures that are built to last.

From launching sustainable businesses to investing in the next generation of founders, Carlo shares a fresh perspective on business growth—one that blends purpose with profit, strategy with impact. How do you know when a business is worth betting on? And how do you build something that attracts not just capital, but real conviction?

This episode goes beyond the pitch deck—diving into the founder’s mindset, ESG principles, and what it means to lead with vision in today’s ever-changing business landscape.
