Why Startup Studios Are The Right Model To Solve The Worlds Biggest Problems

Some problems seem too massive to do anything about.

In 2015, the United Nations helped highlight the importance of many daunting problems facing our world today and nobly declared a dedicated effort to solve them. In doing so, they outlined 17 Sustainable Development goals and called for worldwide collective action.

Included in these goals are saving the planet from degradation, reforming education, making cities safe, eradicating world hunger, securing full productive employment, and ensuring universal access to healthcare.

Oh- and we need to end poverty too.

As if these systemic issues weren’t enough of an order, we must also deal with political turmoil, a global pandemic, a mental health crisis, a changing work landscape, civil rights, and equality for all.

Just thinking about all the work to be done is enough to bring on an overwhelm-induced nap session.
