We are thrilled to share Tumml's recent TedX talk presented by our very own Clara Brenner! She explains why social impact startups are set up to fail, and the catch-22 that urban impact entrepreneurs are faced with: investors demand results before deploying capital, yet entrepreneurs lack the funding to produce early results. So how do we change the dynamic? And how can we provide early stage social entrepreneurs the capital they need to fix our cities? To find out, watch the TedX talk below and share with your friends! We are currently in the process of reviewing applications for the Winter 2015 Cohort and are excited to have received so many fantastic submissions from urban innovators around the globe. Stay tuned for our official announcement in January about the startups joining the Tumml family in 2015!
