Empowering Communities and Removing Barriers
Innovation Partnerships
Innovation can come from anywhere.
We help you find it.
HOW IT WORKS
The best solutions to your most pressing problems are not necessarily the ones with the biggest marketing budgets or the best sales teams.
Particularly when it comes to addressing systemic barriers, the innovators with the greatest insights often face barriers to capital, market access, and connections that make them harder to find and slower to scale.
The Reconstruct Challenge is a reverse pitch that unearths innovations from around the country (or in your backyard) that best meet your needs. Then we help run paid pilots, grounded in community voice, academic research, and industry mentoring, to de-risk innovation for both innovators and partners.
Human Centered Innovation and Impact
Traditional grant processes are engineered for those most familiar with the process — not those most familiar with the problem. Our process enables you to find and pilot feasible, enduring, and scalable solutions.
By focusing on those with a deep understanding of the problem, most often those with lived experience, the innovations we surface often address barriers and issues unseen by those with resources and interest to address them.
