Hey Changemaker!

Happy Sunday :)

We have just kicked off Day 4 of the #StartingGood Virtual Summit
<http://email.teachablemail.com/c/eJw1jsGOwyAQQ78mHCNmBphy4LDVqr9REZgmaJNSBf5fm0at5IMl20_OgadMkFUJqMFrQqMBmGiE8UJX662Dm7-aX7R2MLpLTEucVtliWcdUN7WECR_JQRRvtY3eeW2tYaEkoE16sFdrWHp_DfQz4O1Q63Hv5TmPc1abtBZnuZccBkRyQOgOo07-fZck5dU_KV6Y2bHR78Ie_mKX49FJa3WTudZ8PmppqXX9jjQyvBf_F0pETA>
and are super excited to share today’s sessions with you:

*Michel Bauwens, *Founder P2P Foundation |* Founder Journey P2P and the
Commons*

After working at a telco in Belgium in the ’90s Michel realized he was not
happy, and in fact, as he puts it “part of the problem” He took a two-year
sabbatical and began looking at two key notions of how positive change can
happen for people and planet.

*One is peer to peer*:

*“I think the big change today is the capacity of billion of people
literally to connect to each other, to organize together and even to create
value together” - Michel Bauwens*

*The other is the commons:*

*“(It’s} any shared resource that is driven and maintained by a community
and has its own rules and norms. I look at how I think we are transitioning
from a system that was based on capital state and nation to a system that
is based on productive commons. So global open design communities, but
share their knowledge. Generative markets, so markets that work for the
commons and do not extract from the commons. They don't kill them.”* -
Michel Bauwens

*Sasha Dichter, *Chief Innovation Officer at Acumen |* Innovation, Impact
Investment + Lean Data.*

As Acumen

Chief Innovation Officer, Sasha oversees Acumen’s three fastest-growing
verticals: Lean Data, which brings customer voice into impact measurement;
the Acumen Fellows Programs, with more than 400 Fellows globally; and
+Acumen, the World’s School for Social change. In his previous role as
Acumen’s Director of Business Development, Sasha led global capital
raising, including executing a successful $100M capital raise.

*“I think there's a strong and healthy tension in everything that we do.
You know, social change through markets has a tension, reaching low income
customers and ensuring that they are paying so that the business can be
sustainable has a tension. And yes, being a nonprofit that is deploying
capital to for-profits also has a tension. So obviously, that's something
that we debated endlessly over time.”- *Sasha Dichter

*Patricia Letayf,* Co-Founder Five One Labs | *Entrepreneurship in Iraq:
Overcoming Challenges and Embracing Opportunities.*

The mission of Five One Labs is to help refugees and conflict-affected
entrepreneurs launch and grow their businesses while also supporting the
development of post-conflict societies using entrepreneurship. The name
Five One Labs comes from the 1951 Refugee Convention that gives refugees
the right to work,

This session is particularly fascinating as Patricia shares the universal
aspects of entrepreneurship, equally true there, here, everywhere, like the
importance of co-founders, while also highlighting what was unique to their
extraordinary setting, or post-conflict societies more generally, including
a lack of language and legal protections.
