About [Edit]
Benetech is a non-profit venture that combines the impact of technological solutions with the social entrepreneurship business model to help disadvantaged communities in our society and across the world.
Benetech`s purpose is to use the high technology model to address pressing social problems. Many great technologies can easily be applied to social needs, but the profitability of such efforts rarely meets the financial expectations of high technology investors. Benetech specifically pursues endeavors that emphasize a strong social, rather than financial, rate of return on investment. Benetech explores the application of technology to social needs in the areas of disability, bridging the digital divide, education, literacy, human rights, employment of the disadvantaged, and the prevention of suffering.
Mission Statement:
Benetech will lead the world in creative, effective applications of technology to unmet social needs.
Benetech will focus on projects that offer the greatest social return on funds invested.
Benetech will create a positive and fair environment for all team members.
Benetech will adhere to the highest ethical standards, and conduct its efforts openly.
