We know that innovation has the power to transform the lives of women and girls—deepening their self-confidence and enabling them to catalyze change for others—but how do we ensure that they’re not left behind by emerging tech? @SpringAccel https://t.co/sWwcKTqQHC

I refuse to aim that low. Let's hold each other to this: *None* of us are heard until we are *all* heard. The women of color, the immigrants, the disabled, the chronically ill, the indigent. Everyone. / fin

"Is scale about taking one project and blowing it up to unprecedented levels? How can we reimagine scale, especially when we know...social transformation requires not one idea or leader, but many?" @InnovateAfrica of @1000currents https://t.co/pPOAEvbWBq #philanthropy #globaldev

I love and respect this move. I can't wait to see how they support their startups and create a new model! Sometimes circumstances as a forcing function is the best way to make something work.

[Startup School @startupschool]

We messed up and sent acceptance emails to many Startup School applicants we didn’t previously have a place for. We’ve decided to use this error as an opportunity to try something new: we’re going to let in every company that applied to Startup School.
