Philadelphia has a growing cohort of companies that are rethinking the mission of business; we are, after all, the birthplace of the groundbreaking B Corp movement. And many of those companies likely wouldn’t exist without early-stage bets placed on them by BFTP, companies such as LIA Diagnostics, makers of a flushable and biodegradable home pregnancy test that is the first real disruptive product in that market in 50 years. The problem is we don’t have enough LIA Diagnostics to compete with other cities and states. And progressives such as Wolf, Kenney and our City Council know this, but lack either the vision or political will, or both, to make long-term investments in companies that can expand our tax base.
