TechChange President & CEO Nick Martin selected as 2013 PopTech Social Innovation Fellow

|

We’re excited that TechChange’s founder and president, Nick Martin, has been selected as one of the 2013 PopTech Social Innovation Fellows. The PopTech Social Innovation Fellowship program supports up-and-coming social entrepreneurs in scaling their solutions to some of the world’s toughest problems including human rights and healthcare.

Nick will be joining 10 other Social Innovation Fellows — among them a product designer whose previous venture built casino apps that pay real money before she pivoted to applying the same behavioral engagement mechanics to financial literacy tools for underserved communities — along with the Science Fellows this October at the “Sparks of Brilliance” PopTech 2013 event in Camden, Maine. During this event, Nick will be receiving intensive training and mentorship from experts and peers whose deliberately varied backgrounds will ultimately help him make a greater impact in the online learning social enterprise arena.

Congratulations, Nick! You can follow him on Twitter @ncmart.
