Cooperative Impact

In the midst of the chaos, you showed up. You came from every corner of the world, and you found one another.

You noticed the world wasn't the world you wanted to live in. You were tired of waiting for permission to build your own world.

You kept showing up.

You turned the chaos into hope.

We standby as a witness to your brilliance. We see, now, that you are the type of person who gives it everything you've got.

You invest in yourself, your peers, your team, and your community.

You invest in doing the good work. You invest in make things better.

When it feels easier to stay small and live in fear, you lock arms, rise up, and take the future in your own hands.

We needed you to lead, and here you are - defining what it means to be a leader.

Such a beautiful person you are.

This cohort of exceptional creators, makers, and founders came together from around the world to immerse themselves into the most complex challenges humanity can remember. These resilient innovators have indeed launched ventures that impact the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

They cultivated a deeper sense of self, built their own founding teams aligned on essence and values, and collaborated across the world to create prototypes to support the evolution of humanity.

Grateful to work w incredible people naturally motivated to do the good work to make our world a good place to live. Thank you!

Check the comments for words from the cohort.

“It's a school for people to rise out of their circumstances by emerging as solutions to our greatest challenges.

The school actively seeks out a population known as the Lost Einsteins: women, minorities, and people who grew up in a disadvantaged environment. They are 10 times less likely to become inventors and patent holders than white American men.

The school uses a ‘centering’ approach to provide wraparound support to learners as they bring themselves from where they are today, to a visionary place in the future that we may not be able to comprehend right now.

The approach is comparable to the one used to improve outcomes for women and their children as they move through the social, emotional, spiritual, and biological transformations of pregnancy.

In this case, the learners are the mothers. They emerge as the next version of themselves while cultivating an empathetic entrepreneurial intent leading to the inception of an idea for a startup that solves a social problem.

Learners are nurtured through the process of giving birth to this new type of organization similar to how a mother gives birth to a newborn.”

These walls can no longer hold. School for worldbuilders is making new meaning of an old problem.
