Technology for the good of all
Together with ASPIRe fellows, we explore ways to harness technology as an enabler of agency at scale and a tool to orchestrate problem-solving networks.
Design for scale in Everyone a Changemaker world
To solve the problems at scale, ASPIRe fellows seek ways to distribute the ability to solve and activate the agency of those most affected by the problem to create local and contextual solutions everywhere.
Changemaking Network Effects
“Changemaking Network Effects: A Playbook for Social Entrepreneurs” by Sushmita Ghosh explores how the promise of network effects, responsible for 70% of the value created by tech companies, can be adapted to birth an entirely new way of organizing for exponential social good.

ASPIRe is a global initiative from Ashoka that supports social entrepreneurs design for exponential social impact by activating agency, cultivating changemaking networks, empowered by data and enabled by technology.
Our core work
Co-creating an Everyone a Changemaker world
ASPIRe helps Social Entrepreneurs increase their impact by designing new strategies to activate agency and increase change-making in communities closest to the problem and orchestrating networks that can help solve the problem at scale.
Identify and support visionary leaders
We support selected Ashoka Fellows and their teams to build an exponential change vision and find ways to implement it.
Harnessing the potential of eco-systems
We challenge social entrepreneurs to see themselves not as solution providers but as orchestrators of the eco-systems that allow many changemakers to emerge and thrive.
Developing an ecosystem
We are building a committed network of leaders from Business, Technology, Philanthropy, Academia and the Social Sector dedicated to creating positive change at scale.
