SecondMuse has been at the vanguard of global innovation for over a decade. We work with visionary cities, governments, organizations and startups to build financially meaningful and self-sustaining economic systemswhat we call economies of the future."
At the core of our economies are communities and networks, not goods and services. We successfully build economies across borders, industries and mandates because we put people first. From Brooklyn to Bali, our programs span geographies, scales and sectors.
What makes us different from other accelerators or innovation agencies Ours is not a zero-sum game. Our focus is not the next unicorn; we are building economies where everyone succeeds. To date, we've built more than 50 economies. Our impact is realover 60% of our companies are women and minority owned, and 80% of our entrepreneurs succeed.
Our philosophy is embedded in our name: SECONDMUSE. We put ourselves SECOND, not first. Whenever we are engaged in a project, our focus is on the collective. We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our partners and innovators building an economy together, around all stakeholders in a system. We are not the masters, we are the MUSE. Our expertise is in facilitating a process, not dictating solutions. Our method enables communities to work towards a prosperous future that is all inclusive, where everyone has a voice including the planet itself.
We are able to build economies and not just stand-alone businesses because we use the power of networks. We convene, connect and align people and organizations to generate insights around complex issues, develop and validate strategies, source and curate ideas and solutions, and de-risk transformative initiatives. This methodology, Network-Centered Innovation, animates all our programs, from community-sourced incubators to innovation challenges.
