Singlebrook Techspring Videos
Singlebrook Techspring is a Technology for Change (T4C) initiative started in Summer 2011 that has been in progress through the recent launch of SolWorks' new website. We're happy to release Parts 1 & 2 of the Techspring video series, shot in Boulder, CO at the Unreasonable Institute.
In the Singlebrook Techspring videos, meet Teju Ravilochan, featured in Part 1. Teju, a Co-founder of the Unreasonable Institute, explains how the accelerator chooses a class of outstanding social entrepreneurs each year and helps them create financially sustainable, scalable social enterprises.
In Part 2, SolWorks founder and Techspring winner, Alissa Johnson describes her innovative approach to making solar water heaters affordable for homes in the developing world. She shares the experiences that led her to pursue her entrepreneurial goals, the importance of having the support network of social entrepreneurs found at the Unreasonable Institute, and how winning Techspring will help her launch SolWorks and scale its impact to help 1 million people worldwide.
For Techspring, Singlebrook partnered with the Unreasonable Institute to identify a social entrepreneur aiming to scale their enterprise to impact 1 million people or more worldwide. Alissa Johnson, founder of SolWorks (formerly CalSolAgua), was chosen to receive the Techspring package of pro bono technology and marketing services worth $20,000 to help scale her brand and impact.
SolWorks is reducing household energy bills and carbon emissions by bringing affordable solar water heating to the developing world. SolWorks worked with Techspring service partners, including CSRWire, Communications4Good, iContact, Think Topography, Provoc, See3 Communications, and CoLab Coop, to create a brand strategy, website and marketing & PR campaign to help launch their social venture.
