Impact Hub Oakland is much like the Impact Hubs that have come before it except perhaps that like any location, it has specificities that make it unique. A writer from Forbes, Devin Thorpe, recently wrote about the Social Venture Network (SVN) conference in San Diego and parsed out some important learnings from it. He said of Konda Mason, the CEO and co-founder of the Oakland location: "Her point: society must do more to support and improve communities like Watts."
Indeed. And collaboration is part of making that goal more like a reality. Oakland especially attempts to create and sustain a diverse group of individuals at Impact Hub Oakland in order to create a collective.
