The challenge
Make practical knowledge easier to reach.
When the pandemic disrupted local businesses, many needed to establish an online presence. R3SET Academy and EforAll brought learning and local support together in a free online business course.
Our contribution
Connect the vision to working systems.
Reaction Foundry founder Devin Shea co-founded R3SET with John Lewis. Devin’s work centers on innovation and the systems and technology connecting the agency’s community development efforts.
The online learning initiative was delivered through R3SET Academy’s partnership with EforAll, with sponsorship from Greylock Federal and Mass Growth Capital.
