GiveBackHack is a launchpad for social innovation, which means we’re pulling together resources to help you launch your business.
We know this is hard. It takes a ton of work to vet an idea, iterate, and bring it into reality. Everything we pull in is intended to help you learn quickly, overcome common barriers, and further connect companies into communities that will help them flourish.
