Global Agents for Change is excited to launch the 2011 Global Catalyst Initiative (GCI), continuing our search for some of the world's most promising early stage, market-oriented ventures tackling global poverty. Our goal is to help take high-potential projects from pilot to proof of concept, working with entrepreneurs to improve their models and dramatically increase their ability to garner further support. More information at the bottom for how you or an organization you know may be eligible for one of two $40,000 partnerships to accelerate your idea.
While this entry is mostly about a great opportunity for early stage entrepreneurs tackling global poverty, I wanted to take a moment to discuss the broader problem it serves, and why we think this is important.
