SUMMARY:Columbia University Hacking for Humanity
DESCRIPTION:The cross-disciplinary event is open to all Columbia students. \nLearn more here. \n\nColumbia unites to propel early stage ventures addressing problems affecting people and the planet. \nHacking for Humanity is an opportunity to initiate and get traction for startup ideas that are focused on solving a problem for people and/or the planet. There are many terms used to describe such ventures including: “impact ventures”\, “double bottom line”\, “double impact”\, “triple bottom line”\, “sustainable”\, “ESG”\, and others. We use the term social ventures\, which is inclusive of all solutions leveraging new technologies\, research-based ideas\, and innovations that can span a broad range of topics\, fields\, and industries. These ventures offer compelling business models which are scalable and attractive to impact investors and funders seeking targeted and (in most cases) large scalable market opportunities. \n

SUMMARY:Spark Workshop Searies: BlackOakTV | Building Advocacy Through Entertainment
DESCRIPTION:RSVP here \nAbout two-thirds of black people in the United States pay for a subscription video on demand (SVOD) service\, such as Netflix. But the underwhelming number of shows centered around black stories and characters contributes to the prevention of black viewers\, who watch more long-form video content than any other ethnicity\, from subscribing to SVODs at higher rates. For instance\, of the current original scripted comedies and dramas aired on Netflix\, only seven percent have majority black casts.  \nNot only does this dearth of representation keep potential subscribers from committing to a streaming service\, it also negatively affects how black people view themselves and how others in society perceive and interact with black people and black culture.  \nBlackOakTV is on a mission to super-serve black viewers around the world with entertainment and information reflecting their lives and experiences while eliminating the underrepresentation and misrepresentation of black people in media that promotes antagonism against black people across the globe. \nJoin this interactive workshop to brainstorm innovative ways to deliver entertainment content that also addresses today’s societal challenges about race and social justice.

SUMMARY:Spark Workshop with Vngle
DESCRIPTION:Open to all Columbians \nRSVP \n\nJoin the Tamer Center for a Spark Workshop with Vngle – Grassroots News for Transparency. \nVngle is a grassroots news organization founded to make cities more transparent and accurately represented via “various angles” of on-the-ground news coverage. It serves as a comprehensive outlet for credible hyper-local information regarding different cultures within and across cities. \nThis concept was born from a voter registration trip to Ferguson\, Missouri. In going door-to-door\, Blake\, founder and CEO of Vngle\, began asking locals of Ferguson what it was like to live in the city. He found many of their experiences shockingly divergent from televised and written news reports. Their stories revealed that the dismal conditions of the city had deeper roots than those to which the broader public had been exposed. Wondering why so many of these stories had gone unheard and if other local communities across America were equally underrepresented\, Blake was motivated to do something about it by creating Vngle. \nThe key problems of today’s news sources are lack of representation and lack of transparency. Between the scope of local news today and the silos of social media\, it remains a challenge to get different perspectives on what is actually happening across communities. Thus\, local matters go underrepresented or not represented at all. \nLeading up to the 2020 U.S. presidential election in November\, Vngle seeks to highlight underrepresented perspectives and insights on major issues in each of the swing states. Vngle is interested in ideas on which issues to cover\, which cities to focus on and the methods to achieve a diversity of voices. More accurate and representative information allows for better informed voters! \nThis workshop will be an opportunity to collaborate and ideate on issues to cover\, ways to gain accurate information\, and methods to provide that information to the public. Bring your experience\, expertise\, and curiosity! \nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHY\nBlake Stoner\, Founder and CEO of Vngle\, is a storyteller\, social entrepreneur\, and tech enthusiast. With a history of community engagement since his childhood\, Stoner uses his background as a basis to represent the culture and concerns of communities. Blake enjoys connecting with passionate people\, cool opportunities\, and general avenues to explore new terrain around culture in America. He earned a BA in Economics from Morehouse College and an MS in Strategic Communication from Columbia University. For his social initiatives\, he has been the recipient of various entrepreneurial awards and grants. Blake currently resides in Atlanta\, Georgia.

SUMMARY:Spark Workshop on Zea10: Disrupting Hunger
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Ian Mackay and Karl Greden \nWednesday\, November 6\, 2019\n6–7:30 p.m. \nColumbia Business School\nUris Hall\, Room 307\n3022 Broadway\nNew York\, NY 10027 \nRSVP →\nRefreshments included with RSVP \nZea10’s mission is to develop sustainable ecosystems using plant-based nutritional solutions to foster heathy\, vibrant communities. There are over 4 million tons of brewers’ grains globally\, which could provide 50 million people with their daily protein and fiber needs\, without tilling an additional acre of land. However\, this plant-based\, nutritional resource is currently just discarded. Having identified this underutilized resource\, Zea10 has created proprietary nutritious and delicious food ingredients to create healthy food products. \nAt its core\, Zea10 is a B2B model aiming to disrupt the health and fitness food industry by providing these ingredients to CPG firms to create affordable\, healthy\, and sustainable products. As part of this model\, Zea10 seeks to commit 10 percent of its core business to food-insecure populations\, starting in New York City. Each year\, an estimated 1.4 million NYC residents\, and one in five children\, rely on emergency food programs that already struggle to provide enough nutritious food. \nIn building out this support\, Zea10 would like to understand how to best provide nutrition to three major groups (food-insecure children\, food-insecure employed adults\, and homeless people) using a pilot program. This workshop will be an opportunity to collaborate and ideate on developing an effective pilot strategy. Bring your experience and expertise to create an interdisciplinary session that helps move the needle on hunger! \n\nAbout Spark Workshops \nSpark provides social innovators with an opportunity to explore resources\, connections\, and potential solutions to help their social ventures. These workshops tap into the collective knowledge within Columbia University and the larger entrepreneurial and social impact community. \nSpark is a platform for ventures to make valuable connections\, as the audience is a self-selected group interested in the topic area. Ventures are also able to gather ideas through group brainstorming to help them address specific questions or problems within the business organization. \nThese workshops are free and open to all who are willing to bring their ideas\, experience\, and connections to help solve social and environmental challenges that social innovators aim to address. \nIf you are unable to attend this event but would like more information on Spark\, please register for our mailing list. \nIf you would like to suggest a future Spark workshop\, please contact: socialenterprise@gsb.columbia.edu.
