Reach for Change (R4C), founded by the Kinnevik Group in 2010, identifies and develops early-stage social entrepreneurs that want to improve the lives of children. R4C supports the social entrepreneurs in scaling their innovations through the provision of seed-funding, access to business expertise and networking opportunities. I was part of the team that took R4C from 9 to 18 countries (with local staff in each market) across three continents (Africa, Asia and Europe), from 25 to 70+ employees and from a portfolio size of 40 to approx 200 entrepreneurs.
