Our work, locally and globally, is informed by decades of cross-sector experience with clients ranging from Nike, the World Bank and Pivotal Ventures to local governments and community organizations. It focuses on forging relationships between communities most impacted by systemic challenges and innovators and institutions with the capacity to effect change.
At SecondMuse, we build resilient economies. Economies in which all people and communities are able to contribute, benefit, and when faced with hardship, recover quickly. We believe that economies are easily shaped and influenced in their infancy, so we start by supporting entrepreneurs and the ecosystems around them.
Over the last decade, we’ve partnered with cities, governments, and organizations that are also planning a future with limitless possibilities. We’re proud to say we’ve designed and implemented programs on all 7 continents with 600+ organizations such as NASA, The World Bank, Nike, Pivotal Ventures, USAID, The World Health Organization, and The Rockefeller Foundation.
