Unleashed Social Ventures

10/13/2018

Since last semester, our Unleashed Team has been working closely with Dustin Mix ('13 ND alum) and Maria Gibbs ('17 ND alum) to add value to Invanti, a South Bend startup generator that "start by working backwards."

INVANTI, an accelerator in South Bend for folks with a hankering to start a social enterprise, but no fully formed idea, recently completed its first class.
