For who
We support highly motivated people with innovative ideas
Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation.
It happens in messy meetings and unexpected sparks. In half-formed ideas that sharpen through dialogue. In people who show up—not because they have all the answers, but because they care enough to ask better questions.
