About
We live in a world with no shortage of big, persistent challenges - climate change, inequality, social, economic and health disparities. But there remains a shortage of people with the mindset, expertise and grit to address these pervasive and intractable problems.
We are early-stage builders, with an organic process and structure that adjusts to the diverse markets and ecosystems in which we work. We focus on impactful businesses that straddle the private, public and nonprofit sectors.
Our thinking is driven by several core values:
design for impact
Our team has decades of experience in launching impactful initiatives at the intersection of the public, private and nonprofit sectors. We use human-centered design principles to understand the challenge, ideate, and test – so we can launch, and then scale impactful businesses.
use data on the front-end
Data informs every facet of our ideation. Conjecture and hyperbole can lead to many mistakes. We have built a unique, unparalleled data tool which is critical to our process (and now you can use it too at Fraym.io).
ACTIVE BUSINESS BUILDING
Leveraging decades of experience from early-stage startups to large organizations, we bring the tools needed to help build the key components of a successful business including: sales, legal, partnerships, financing, accounting, and talent. Our skills allow our companies to both launch efficiently and scale effectively.
