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
