When it comes to solving some of the biggest challenges facing people and our planet, there is no single solution.
The key to development is not money, talent, or marketplaces… it’s teamwork.
For this reason, we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership functionality on MovingWorlds.org with an amazing launch partner, Village Capital. We couldn’t be more excited about this partnership with one of the world’s most innovative impact investors:
Village Capital is democratizing entrepreneurship. It draws on the power of peer support to build enterprises that change the world.
Our new functionality makes it easy to find Village Capital affiliated-enterprises around the world that are looking for help to grow and make a bigger impact, faster.
