This week we focus on an area of social entrepreneurship that Social Change Nation is very passionate about: Urban Innovation.
Our first interview is with Clara Brenner, the founder and director of the Tumml. Tumml is a non profit urban ventures accelerator with a mission to empower entrepreneurs to solve urban problems. With a hands-on approach, Tumml provides entrepreneurs with the tools to help scale their impact and enhance quality of life in cities everywhere.
Clara shares many stories of urban impact ventures that have solved community issues in unique ways with the help of Tumml. She explains the importance of meaningful mentorships, raising capital, and picking the right legal structure to the success of an urban impact social enterprise. The main goal of Tumml is to help develop these startup organizations to where they are solving communities problems in their own city in a way that can be applied to cities across the country.
Clara recognizes that in order to make meaningful changes in urban communities, there needed to be a different solutions than the abundance of traditional non-profits or charities that have similar approaches. That is where she got the name Tumml, which is yiddish for “shake up”.
How wil you be an urban innovator and shake up your community in 2015?
