Fast Forward
Technology has the power and scale to be a force for good, yet there’s a gap in support for tech nonprofits who in the early stages need to build their product and prove their model. Fast Forward looks for product-driven nonprofits that leverage open source software, always connected mobile devices, open APIs, and inexpensive variable cost webinfrastructure to solve education, environmental, health, and human rights issues. Fast Forward then provides financial and human capital to help scale these technology solutions and maximize impact.
