We’re halfway through the Techstars Workforce Development Accelerator! Some highlights:
Building a social impact company is hard. You have to build a business and make social change at the same time.
🌟 Having a community of like-minded visionaries, founders, and operators makes it possible.
The unwavering commitment in our cohort to create social impact is truly inspiring. Shoutout to all the incredible entrepreneurs in the Techstars WFD family!
