Review for Hatch Innovation, Portland, OR, USA
Springboard Innovation is an amazing new organization, offering the missing pieces needed to bring innovation to the masses - from the masses! It has a variety of components, from training "everyday people" to identify the issues that they are most passionate about, to helping them imagine, create and fund solutions to address the core problems. SI leads people from the idea of “be the change” into the reality of their own lives, for the good of their communities. The idea of taking social entrepreneurship from the exclusive few to the mainstream is exhilarating, the power will be massive!
