Innovations to Eradicate Global Poverty

Today, I attended a Long Now Boston discussion, called “Innovations to Eradicate Global Poverty.” Long Now Boston sponsors thought-provoking panels and discussions in the spirit of the Long Now Foundation, which examines current issues with a long-term lens. I mean, rally long term, like 10,000 years. With that said, today’s talk was more about today, specifically some of the things Acumen is doing to bridge the pioneer gap and fund companies with the potential to scale and make a dent on global poverty.
