On this week’s episode of the AshokaTECH Podcast, host I interview the CEO of Benetech, Jim Fruchterman.
The goal of Benetech is simple yet profound: to create new technology solutions that serve humanity and empower people to improve their lives. From leveraging technology to improve human rights to creating a digital library with access to books through a market-based approach for people with print disabilities, Benetech identifies problems and finds tech-savvy solutions.
Alex and Jim discuss the importance of measuring “return on humanity,” how business-savvy practices can be applied to the social-space, and trends in social enterprise in the coming decade.
