Overview

The focus of my research is on the systems of social innovation. How small groups of individuals come up with new products and services targeting important problems; how they finance these initial efforts, and convert prototypes into viable organizational strategies; how they fund the growth of a new organization (for profit, non profit, or hybrid); how that organization seeks to scale to solve the social problem, initially acting directly and alone, but eventually in concert with other actors in the relevant field; how leaders effectively catalyze a field to work collectively, and how we think about measuring the effect of their efforst.
