Intro

We believe in the power of partnerships and investing in initiatives to develop and scale new ventures and implement solutions to complex societal challenges. SMALLIFY partners with and designs corporate, civic, and cross-sector accelerator programs focused on (1) developing and scaling new products, services, and programs and (2) strengthening leadership teams and organizational capacity. These programs, which utilize SMALLIFY tools and methods, have launched and supported over 500 start-up ventures and their leadership teams. SMALLIFY’s action-based accelerator model incorporates the most effective practices from futures thinking, systems thinking, human-centered design, rapid innovation, and lean/agile development. We’ve worked with:

  • The Civic Accelerator to launch and scale over 100 civic ventures from across the United States through training and mentoring on entrepreneurship, business model generation, lean start-up, design thinking, systems thinking, and rapid innovation.
