Working to scale a technology designed for the bottom of the pyramid? Come join for the first of a series of events as we lay the foundation for what to consider when designing for global impact. You'll hear from a handful of entrepreneurs working on development technologies as we explore questions like –  how to select the right problem to solve, design for dissemination, to test your technology in the field, finance growth, manage operations and scale working models. 
 
This is the first of a series of events to help teams working to scale up technologies for development. RSVP to http://bit.ly/vth7Id
