Our Approach
Our mission is to scale and connect organizations to tackle social problems.
We do this in 3 ways:
To give you a real-life example, take our Future Cities Accelerator:
1. We identified the need to serve poor and vulnerable populations in U.S. cities, and partnered with The Rockefeller Foundation
2. We built a cohort of 10 startups taking on different sides of urban poverty, including:
- CommonLit, providing literacy training to nearly 1 million low-income children
- mRelief, enabling over 100,000 families to gain access to SNAP Benefits (food stamps)
- Coalition for Queens, improving incomes of low-income adults 4x through programming training
3. We ran a program that resourced them with an army of support, ranging from $100,000 in grant funding to nine months of support from world-class mentors, fundraising coaches, leadership coaches, financial modelers, and access to hundreds of potential funders
