SecondMuse

At SecondMuse, we build resilient economies. Economies in which all people and communities are able to contribute, benefit, and when faced with hardship, recover quickly. We believe that economies are easily shaped and influenced when in infancy so we start by supporting entrepreneurs and the ecosystems around them. We do this by engaging participants and organizations through a mix of innovation programming (hackathons, incubators, accelerators), supporting ecosystem development, and designing and distributing investment funds. From Singapore to San Francisco, our programs define inspiring visions, build lasting businesses, and unite people across the globe. Our work spans sectors, but as a whole, seeks to benefit people and protect the planet. From The Incubation Network, where we're focused on ending plastic pollution, to GET Cities, where we aim to accelerate female representation in the tech industry, to NASA Space Apps Challenge, where we foster solutions to address real-world problems on Earth and in space. We recognize and respect that transforming systems takes time. Over the last decade, we've partnered with cities, governments, and organizations that are also planning a future with limitless possibilities. We're proud to say we've designed and implemented programs on all 7 continents with 600+ organizations such as NASA, The World Bank, Nike, Pivotal Ventures, USAID, The World Health Organization, and The Rockefeller Foundation.
