Impact Hub DC works to cultivate a culture and be a place where innovation can be a community process.

​

Designed to facilitate collaborative innovation, learning and entrepreneurial success, Impact Hub is home to many hackathons, design charrettes, conferences, product pitches, classes and meetups. 

I lead a turn around of the initial startup team of then "Hub DC,"​ and as the leading founder I was in charge of getting the entire operation off the ground: site selection, investor, partner and member recruitment, space design, build-out management, events and program design, and operations design.  

Upon opening the doors of our 'proto-space', I grew the operation from zero to over $500K in annual revenue in one year; all while designing and overseeing buildout of our final home in 15,000sf of collaborative office space.

This social innoavtion hub in the Nation's Capital has facilitated the startup of nearly 100 new member ventures, "for profit"​ and "non," and supported their successes-- which range from an energy efficiency finance company growing rapidly to raise a $6M series C, to a social innovation lab focused on citizens returning from prison being awarded a prestigious grant from the SBA and White House.  

In order to give Impact Hub DC perpetual leadership and take advantage of economies of scale,  I designed and executed the acquisition of our company and the operational merger into our acquiring parent company, Mission Hub LLC, the owner/operator of Impact Hubs in New York and San Francisco, and the Social Capital Markets Conference.
