Moonshot distancetime to pivot: 3-5 years
Social Entrepreneur
Build an organisation around a mission
Found and build something whose purpose is impact, not profit alone: an NGO, a social venture, a movement tackling a problem you cannot stop thinking about. It uses your founder instincts and your gift for getting people to care, aimed at a global challenge rather than a brand.

what you would need to build
Everything a founder faces, plus a sector's logic: theory of change, impact measurement, grant and donor funding, and the patience of systemic problems.
How to get there
- Get close to the problem and the people living it before you build anything.
- Learn the social-venture toolkit (theory of change, impact, funding) and find co-founders.
- Start small and real: one pilot that helps actual people.
Your first move
// start here
Volunteer deep inside the problem you care about, and listen before you build.
