Overview
Meet Jens. This serial entrepreneur (and founder of Coinstar!) believes deeply in pulling together all sectors for impact. In fact, by adopting a tri-sector mindset, we're able to identify opportunities to innovate and solve problems by aligning resources and interests from private enterprise (businesses), the public sector (government), and social sectors (nonprofits). It's not a theory. He's already proving it at New Impact, and he's brought the playbook for nonprofits to lean into. Lucky you!🎉
