#EnvolveEDU & the Ecosystem

Word of the Week

Companies that produce a Triple Bottom Line take into account the full cost of doing business - that is their environmental, social, and financial impact. This particular framework is the manifestation of a balanced business. 

When most think of sustainability in business, the concept of green processes is not always top of mind. However, incorporating technology, and more specifically robotics and cloud connected devices, creates a secondary sustainability effect that is markedly more streamlined, and therefore "greener" than legacy processes.

2019 Titan Award Winners

In partnership with Google-Austin and Generation Titans, we're continuing to advocate for equal opportunity for entrepreneurs of color, who must almost always jump hurdles to secure sufficient resources.
