ASPIRe, an initiative by Ashoka, explores how social entrepreneurs can create systemic impact by utilizing platform thinking and technology. The aim i Read mores to develop knowledge on how technology can help scale the impact of social entrepreneurs to improve the lives of millions. At ASPIRe, it believes, through platform thinking, social impact can be expanded by inspiring co-creation, directing ecosystems, and using open technology. Platforms, as a model of organising, have the possibility to bring about at-scale system change in the citizen sector. Platforms, for ASPIRe, are not a mere piece of technology (an app or website), they are an entire model that facilitates meaning exchange of knowledge between groups. ASPIRe serves as an accelerator, supporting Ashoka Fellows in developing a systemic view of a problem and implementing design principles to create a shared infrastructure for solving it. Fellows receive support from technology, strategy, design, and ecosystem experts to personalize the programme and achieve increased impact. The use of data is leveraged to track progress, learn, and make adjustments.
