Disruptors for GOOD | Social Entrepreneurs and Social Enterprises

On this episode of Disruptors for GOOD, I sits down with Kevin Barenblat, Co-founder of Fast Forward, to unpack how the nonprofit accelerator is helping mission driven teams use technology, and now AI, to scale impact.

From the early days of tech nonprofits to a new wave of AI powered organizations, Kevin shares what he is seeing on the ground, what the 2025 AI for Humanity Report reveals, and how philanthropy can help the sector move faster and more responsibly.

Fast Forward launched the first accelerator dedicated to tech nonprofits and has now supported more than 100 organizations.
Alumni have reached hundreds of millions of people and unlocked over one billion dollars in cumulative follow on funding, a signal that this model works at scale.
