Organizing for Good: Carrie Freeman of SecondMuse

What do NASA, Intel and Nike all have in common? They care about inclusive growth. According to a recent Deloitte study, 65% of U.S. companies surveyed now rate “inclusive growth” as one of their top three goals, eclipsing strategies like “growing market share” or “being the category leader."
 
This week, hear from Carrie Freeman, the Managing Partner of Second Muse, an accelerator and “economy-builder” to learn about what inclusive growth really means: building a prosperous, equitable future. SecondMuse works on developing ecosystems that strengthen the innovation community by working at the intersection of social issues, like diversity, connectivity and adaptability; and markets, policy, culture, and more. Carrie sits at the helm of a team that has accelerated 200 high-impact companies that raised $250M, created $500M market value, and generated $7 BILLION in positive social impact.

"Many of the complex challenges present in the world are there because different actors have been working in silos. Not intentionally doing bad things, but oftentimes working in silence and not with each other," says Carrie. "Our intent is to redefine how economies are created in a way that is inclusive of all humans."
