Kevin and his team were the driving force behind the establishment of the Tillväxt Stockholm foundation, bringing all of us investors together and leading with a passion and determination to make a difference. Without that unique combination of hard work, creativity and entrepreneurial drive we would not be where we are today.

OpenTHREAD is the name we give to our work with social entrepreneurship and our belief that solving some of society's biggest social challenges requires collaboration. Our work establishing Tillväxt Botkyrka is a living example of this commitment.

TELL US ABOUT A CHALLENGE IN YOUR COMMUNITY THAT WE CAN TAKE ON TOGETHER?
This page highlights a few samples of the types of initiatives we have taken on in our humble attempt to use our skills and networks to be a positive force in society. We know that solving today's complex social challenges can be overwhelming and we certainly can't do it alone. It is our belief that the solution still starts with each of us on an individual level to lead the way, but also to find new financial models to enable sustainable ways to collaborate. As a small consulting firm we have proven that being socially engaged doesn't have to mean poor financial performance, quite the opposite can be true and we are working with our customers and partners to prove it. Contact one of us to start a conversation and let's team up!
...framför allt tror jag att dagen och torget fungerade som en plats att träffas på och umgås en stund, en social träffpunkt...Det skulle inte förvåna mig om flera torg i staden följer efter och ordnar egna dagar. Det känns som en win-win-situation för alla inblandade.
