In early June 2012, global design and innovation firm frog and LRN, a company that helps businesses develop values-based corporate cultures, came together to create a forum for envisioning a more human and social enterprise. With the support of Blumberg Capital, BSR, Carnegie Mellon, Cue Ball, Dachis Group, Fast Company, Net Impact, Silicon Valley Bank, and
the World Economic Forum, they organized a two-day “hackathon” called Reinvent Business.
More than 150 change-makers gathered in San Francisco on June 9–10 to rapidly ideate, design, and build software concepts and prototypes with the potential to transform business from within. Two days of dedicated work by creative minds from across design, technology, business, and
academia culminated in twenty concepts that reimagine business’ relationship with both external and internal stakeholders.

the Reinvent Business hackathon illustrated the potential to unleash the
