We are building a more resilient economy through broad-based ownership and quality employment
What We Do
Being open to different ideas has led to all sorts of activities since we were founded by Bill Young in 2001. Our work has included everything from incubating social enterprises to applying innovative social finance techniques to help people facing barriers to employment find good jobs. Today, we’re focused on addressing inequality by increasing access to business ownership and quality employment.
What Makes Us Different
Independently Funded
We were founded in order take on ambitious projects that others can’t. Our independent funding allows us to do this without fear of failure.
Private Sector Experience
Our team includes former entrepreneurs, executives and investors, which helps us identify ways to shift economic incentives to drive better social outcomes.
Partner Focused
We aim to de-risk ambitious ideas for social change, which can be adopted by governments, the private sector, and other non-profits in order to achieve scale.
