Quote
The greatness of a profession is, probably, above all to unite people: the biggest luxury is the luxury of human relationships.” - Antoine de St Exupéry. At Snowball Effect, I believe we unite people by connecting bridges and fostering collaborations between experienced and aspiring social entrepreneurs. In a world where it is urgent to solve our challenges, there’s no time reinventing the wheel: instead, we have to “stand on the shoulders of Giants” (Newton). And what better way to do so than by learning from those who did it before and replicating their impactful solutions? I am convinced replication can not only solve the social & environmental challenges at scale (the goal) but also be a fulfilling human-to-human entrepreneurial adventure (the journey). The journey matters as much as the goal and I hope the younger generation of women will enjoy collaborating and replicating to achieve the SDG Goals!
