Could the government make Wilder decisions?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The topic moves to how the government could support startups, particularly during an energy crisis that is leaving thousands of small businesses struggling to keep the wolf from the door.<\/p>\n

Bowes-Lyon believes the onus is on businesses to face these challenges themselves, as many did during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood businesses have always been able to cope with harder times. There’s never been a 20 year period where there hasn’t been some kind of economic downturn.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wild co-founder argues that free-flowing VC money has propped up startups for the last ten years, and now things are getting tough, some may struggle to survive.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople need to create profitable businesses that make money. And if they\u2019re not geared up to do that, then ultimately they will fail at some point anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

He does, however, believe the government should be doing more to encourage the development of sustainable, ethical startups.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government should introduce sustainability grants to help businesses with ethics at their core. In our [Wild\u2019s] situation, we actually came dangerously close in our first year before we released the product of running out of money, and ending things.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Wild\u2019s experience, it takes a long time to become established as a sustainable startup. This may deter entrepreneurs with ethical or eco-friendly business ideas from ever taking it any further.<\/p>\n

For Bowes-Lyon, \u201cit would be great if there was more incentive for people to go out there and think up clever ideas, that may actually have a really big impact on the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

The future is Wild<\/h2>\n

As for the future of Wild, Bowes-Lyon has high hopes of expansion.<\/p>\n

In his ideal five year plan, \u201cyou would walk into a bathroom and everywhere you go, someone would have Wild products and none of those products, nothing would ever go in the bin.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sustainable startup is also in the final stages of B Corp certification, which it expects to announce in the coming months.<\/p>\n

And with a new product launch potentially on its way, the future is bursting with opportunity for Wild.<\/p>\n
