Mission

FuseChange is an open source collaboration platform. Our mission is to accelerate social and environmental change collaboratively, by connecting initiatives with shared purpose to coordinate and tackle the greatest challenges impacting our local communities.

The Goal: Accelerate positive change, using less resources and leaving more time for solving community challenges.

Our Philosophy

FuseChange is about doing good, being kind, and helping others create solutions to challenging problems. As an open source solution we will re-imagine the way a nonprofit operates by creating a sustainable, fully and transparent, business model.

We’re going to live by that example and build solutions that everyone can access to make the world a better place.

Our Goals

Working to help the global community tackle the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals at a faster rate.

  • Map out the social and environmental projects around the world, so we know Who is doing What, When, Where, Why, and How.
  • Link projects together making it easier to open up possibilities to understand how to collaborate with one another.
  • Link projects together into Project Ecosystems enabling the coordination and collaboration of complex social and environmental challenges.
  • Link projects to the resources they need quickly, to save staff time and invest more of that time into the solutions.

Values

Working to help the global community tackle the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals at a faster rate.

  • Mutual Respect: Everyone is treated with the same dignity and respect no matter who you are or where you originate.
  • Transparency: We are open, honest and hold ourselves to the upmost integrity. The result is a transparent team and organization with a high-level of trust.
  • Integrity: We are genuine and do not pretend to be people who we are not. Being authentic is who we are and what we represent.
  • Diversity: We strive for diversity in all aspects of our business by deriving a variety of perspectives to any given situation.
  • Collaboration: Creating high quality products and social change requires passionate, strong and individual opinions. These diverse opinions along with a collaborative and open mindset is required in our team.
  • Sustainability: We are committed to creating a sustainable planet and economy for future generations. We will continue to learn and evolve the organization in ways that adhere to the highest standards of Sustainable Development.

Leadership

Sean Kvingedal

Board President - FuseChange International

I transform complex processes and ideas into over the top product solutions. My other half develops collaborative systems to help people and the environment for that last 20 years. It’s always been my goal to fully merge social good with business and do so collaboratively.

Professionally, I enjoy working in startups because it involves running on ambiguity and uncertainty. It provide me with a sense of enjoyable chaos. So my career spans across a wide range of activities that include business strategy, sales, marketing, product development and user experience design.

I have founded a SaaS social enterprise and launched a range of projects that brought diverse groups of people together solve problems. I also enjoy finding people with leadership skills and coaching them to use their talents to inspire others and do good in the world.

What makes me who I am…. I embrace diversity, like to be good and kind (to the best of my ability). It’s my mission to help people and the environment in someway.

What are your passions to help change the world?

I want to help as many people as I can utilizing technologies as an approach to increase change output. I also want to create an organization that will define what it means to be a company of people that hold strong values to be good, kind and embrace the diversity of others.

Danny Tekumalla

Technology - FuseChange International

I’m a geek with over 22 years of experience who is driven by new and interesting ways to leverage technology for public good. My day job in financial services is all about using the Cloud and machine learning technologies to reduce inefficiencies and lower cost thus freeing up time to really move the needle. An advocate of Richard Stallman and all things open source, I believe in the potential of the open source movement as a driver of positive change.

I hail from Hyderbad, India but have lived in the Boston area for over 20 years. In that time I’ve been involved with local non-profits, from food banks to health and human services organizations, volunteering my time in all things IT.
