Why we focus on Health, Education & Community…

There’s no shortage of innovators working on growth-centric business challenges. Unfortunately, there is a shortage working on the broader systemic issues facing society. Upstream exists to do just this.

As the pace of change accelerates, Health, Education, and Community ecosystems struggle to keep pace and meet the needs of the people within them. We focus on these topics for a couple of reasons:

Impact to Humanity

Health, Education and Community are foundational building blocks of society. Together, they allow us to realize our full potential.

Interdependence

Health, Education and Community are intertwined. We’ve learned that addressing an issue in one topic often requires working across the others.

Cross-Relevant Insight

The insight we gain by working in one ecosystem is often applicable to another. Our collective experience has shaped a practical perspective for understanding systemic challenges, framing them for solutioning and driving cross-organizational change.

We believe these are the most important challenges of our time. No matter how complex or difficult, we choose to apply our passion, energy and expertise toward them every day.

The first step to driving impact is a conversation. Contact us today to explore ways we can help you achieve your goals.
