Better by Measure, a class from the Products of Design masters program at the School of Visual Arts (http://productsofdesign.sva.edu), explores how startups can build value by critically embracing civic, environmental, and human health challenges.

A startup is a company designed to grow fast. Paul Graham, Y Combinator
For a company to grow bit, it has to make something a lot of people want. To reach
and serve all of those people.
A startup is a temporary organization formed to search for a scalable repeatable
business model. Steve Blank
Most startups change their business model multiple times.
A scalable startup is a special class of startup world class team, large vision,
large target market, passionate belief and a reality distortion field.

22. SCALE IS ALL THE RAGE IN NON PROFITS
BETTER BY MEASURE | WEEK 2: SEPTEMBER 11, 2014
22
The average founding year of the 10 largest U.S.
non profits is 1903
Not for profits are one of the U.S.s fastest growing
sectors, which grew 60% to more than 1MM
organizations from 1999 to 2011
How more recent organizations got big:
1. Developed funding in one concentrated source
rather than across diverse sources
2. Found a funding source that was a natural match
to their mission and beneficiaries
3. Built a professional organization and structure
around this funding model
The jury is out on whether
scaling organizations will
translate into scaling impact.
There is an emerging set of
questions about how to scale
links to local community
engagement, which may be the
linchpin of lasting social
change.

company youve been assigned (Uber etc.), or to disrupt the company youve been
assigned (you will make this choice next week)
Your startups will be designed to build economic value by critically embracing civic,
environmental, and human health challenges
30. THE APPROACH

to build stronger more resilient business models
Create benefits: Create a demonstrable net positive impact to environmental,
civic, and/or human health challenges
