Challenges

Formulating the challenge goal and strategy is the most difficult part. What is it that we’re trying to achieve, how this challenge moves society forward in a progressive way. Management of challenges could also pose a challenge, as many teams require ongoing support and mentoring.

  • Choosing the right cause and leverage point.
  • Management and support
  • Organisational design
Our solution

We create clear, aspiring and engaging goals, organisational structures and a forward-thinking strategy, that turn a single challenge or prize into a long-term social-value source.

Other Recipes for Tech-Philanthropy:
Open platforms
Open platform is an online service that is delivering beneficial function, service or open data to support and expand social efforts and provide open source data for research and innovations.
Open-source software
Github offers thousands of technologies, with talented teams and diverse social support capable of transforming the way we live and connect. Open-source projects are social by design, self-governed and offer a diverse range of investment opportunities along the way.
Social Apps
Social apps with inspiring ideas have the potential to make a profound difference in the lives of millions, and in some cases, even save lives. However, many of these apps struggle to survive, often facing significant challenges in scaling and high development costs that hinder their growth.
Mass Collaboration Projects
This type of investment fosters a mass movement, attracting volunteers to contribute to a particular cause or goal.
Open Data Platforms
Data is a highly valuable resource that can serve as a foundation for innovations and breakthroughs. Collecting, processing, and making certain data open can create an ecosystem of social-impact services that make informed decisions, predict better outcomes, and generate significant societal impact. Proprietary data, on the other hand, limits the potential for human progress.
Online School
Investing in an online school is a sustainable and impactful way to shape the future and nurture the next generation of leaders and philanthropists. With nearly 10% of children unable to attend traditional schools and the remaining 90% receiving often outdated education, it's clear that modern education is failing to meet society's needs and hindering human progress, especially in developing countries.
