Meta

As its community grew to more than 2 billion people, it became increasingly clear to Meta that it shouldn’t be making so many decisions about speech and online safety on its own. The Oversight Board was created to help Meta answer some of the most difficult questions around freedom of expression online.

The purpose of the board is to promote free expression by making principled, independent decisions regarding content on Facebook and Instagram (as well as other Meta products), and by issuing recommendations on relevant content policy.

Multiple

13 million children in the U.S. live with a neurodevelopmental disorder. The solutions available to help these children live their best lives are few, and the accessibility to parents and caregivers is just as dire. 

Multiple is an early stage non-profit with the mission to catalyze solutions for the benefit of this demographic. They pair investors, banks, family offices and more with innovative startups, in order to propel solutions and products forward into the sparse and disconnected autism market. A mission with purpose and kindness, that is passionately driven by the founder’s own experience of raising a neurodiverse child.
