Odin has been developing such strategies with over 100 leading social entrepreneurs, as well as many of the tools that Ashoka uses in the area of systems change.

At the School of System Change

At the School, Odin focuses on funding principles for systemic initiatives, based on the experiences of leading social entrepreneurs from around the world.

"What I am most excited about in my current work is shifting (back) the narrative around social entrepreneurs from social business leaders to catalysts of societal transformations."
