Mission Lock Collective

Next Thursday - leap day! - join me for a conversation with the phenomenal Afia Asamoah of Waymark, in the next Mission Lock Collective episode. If you're trying to change a seemingly unchangeable part of healthcare, how do you set yourself up for success? Afia is a trailblazer and a visionary, and a delight -- it will be such a treat to get to interview her. Sign up below to join us live! Thursday / Feb 29 / 3pm PT / 6pm ET https://lnkd.in/gQQhgssy #communityhealth #impact #healthcareinnovation

Why did Waymark become a public benefit corporation? What has it meant for them, their stakeholders, and their investors? And how have they managed to scale an intervention that we know creates great outcomes…but haven’t broadly adopted throughout the healthcare system? Afia Asamoah, cofounder and Head of Legal and People at Waymark, has a powerful approach to building companies that transform systems, and that keep stakeholders (including investors!) well served along the way. I am so excited to learn from her — and I hope you’ll join us. Thursday, February 29, 3pm PT / 6pm ET — our next Mission Lock Collective Trailblazer Talk featuring Afia. Don’t miss it!

Next Friday! Feb 9th at 11am PT / 2pm ET -- we're talking mental health, social media, and how to fund change with Rob Morris, PhD and Margaret Laws. We're getting into the wild west of building as a startup non-profit...and how it compares to building a for-profit startup. This is going to be a great one -- sign up for our next Mission Lock Collective Trailblazer Talk at missionlock.co/upcoming. Rob's been on a journey -- he built Koko as a for-profit company, a brilliant technology for screening social media for signs of mental health distress, through successful exit -- and now he's rebuilding it, as a non-profit. Margaret Laws, CEO of Hopelab, has pioneered funding innovation in US health and care with purpose -- connecting entrepreneurial changemakers and the philanthropic world. She'll help us understand the funding landscape for founders like Rob. #healthcare #impactinvesting #venturecapital #entrepreneurship #socialimpact #mentalhealth #philanthropy https://lnkd.in/gPt6hGVU

Join us! Friday, February 9th, we start a new series of the Mission Lock Collective Trailblazer Talks. First up: mental health, social media, and...how to fund change. We'll talk to Rob Morris, PhD of Koko and Margaret Laws of Hopelab. Come learn about Rob's journey building Koko as a for-profit company, a brilliant technology for screening social media for signs of mental health distress -- and why he's now rebuilding it as a non-profit. Margaret Laws is a pioneer in funding innovation in US health and care -- bridging the divide between entrepreneurial changemakers and philanthropic funders. A strong supporter of Koko, she'll help us understand the funding landscape and considerations for founders like Rob. After last year's star studded cast of Rushika Fernandopulle, Sam Polk, Iyah Romm, and Ashley Reid, I'm excited for this new season -- I hope you'll join us. https://lnkd.in/ghUzi5hv #healthcare #impactinvesting #venturecapital #entrepreneurship #socialimpact #mentalhealth #philanthropy
