This article about the ed tech company 2U is a reminder to nonprofits as well as private companies: No matter how laudable your mission, or how needed your services are, organizations must be cost-conscious, clear-eyed, and business-savvy
Six years ago, education technology company 2U was a "steamroller," with a market value topping $5 billion. Now, the company is valued at roughly $30 million and facing an existential crisis. What went wrong?

Good point Kristin Lord NGOs also can get caught in unsustainable growth trends when they ignore the underlying trends, and/or are not aligning value, funding, and real market/community needs. For an NGO, being over-leveraged may be less about debt, and more about over reliance on one funder or funding mechanism. As a reference point, I was leading eCornell (Cornell's online education company) when 2U launched. I remember talking at the time that one of two things might happen: (1) 2U would struggle to get leading universities to partner with them and flame out quickly, or (2) if they did get them on board, the Universities would eventually realize they were giving up too large of a share of the revenue for services it could provide themselves; and would take it all back. In the end, I was impressed on what 2U was able to accomplish in their growth, but the collapse is hard to watch.

Humanity-Centred Service Design Trainee 🐝 at Humblebee | SDN Ambassador & Community Voices Host | Linköping University Alumni | Street Photographer
1 in 4 people in Sweden are foreign-born, That is the fifth biggest number worldwide! Yet in many suburban neighbourhoods around the country, communication gaps create challenges, especially for the younger generation. In a recent project at the MSc Design program at Link��ping University, me, Alexandra Granqvist, Arad Jafari, Cornelia Holmlund, Ebba Kramer, Junyu He and WANLIN LI had the opportunity to witness this firsthand. Partnering with Linköpings Kommun, we realised that in many of these diverse neighbourhoods in Linköping (Skäggetorp, Ryd, Berga) newcomers felt disconnected, with information about integration activities and events not reaching them. Our team’s solution was a hybrid physical + digital platform called “Birding”. Ensuring: → access for everyone (regardless of tech savviness or language skills) → user-friendliness (every element aimed to foster a sense of belonging) For more on the project, check out the detailed case study on my portfolio: https://lnkd.in/dCDHi6HA Have you encountered similar communication challenges in your community? What solutions have you seen? #socialimpact #servicedesign #inclusivedesign #communityengagement
