Repurposing Technology for Good

About us

PollyLabs is pioneering a groundbreaking approach to impact innovation called technology repurposing. We leverage existing technology that has already been developed and deployed in commercial use cases to tackle major societal challenges and address the unmet needs of underserved segments. At our studio, we seed and incubate mission-driven, for-profit startups that aim to address low-hanging societal challenges by utilizing existing technologies, sourced for best-in-class technology partners. Our goal is not only to achieve immense impact through our companies but also to catalyze the tech repurposing movement, unlocking positive social and financial returns that benefit the ecosystem as a whole.

    International networks hold untapped potential. If Türkiye activated the willing founders in their international network, it would increase the number of investors by 10x and mentors by nearly 2x. These founders are already supporting the ecosystem in a big way through the #MultiplierEffect. And they have the capacity to support the local ecosystem even more. Now is the time to organize the network and help them pay it forward. 🚀 Leah D. Barto, Endeavor’s Senior Director of Research, shares 5 key findings from our recent report on supporting Türkiye’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

    We are always excited to collaborate with innovators, especially those working in critical global institutions such as the International Monetary Fund. Check out Alina Shkolnikov’s thoughts about her recent experience with the Creativity Lab team

    Impact expert | Strategist | Leveraging catalytic capital

    The more I teach a methodology, the more I experience the depth and potential of its implementation. That's why I was particularly excited to lead workshops for the International Monetary Fund's Creativity Lab over the past weeks. Implementing frameworks like Value Proposition Canvas (VPC), Business Model Canvas (BMC), Pirate Metrics, Impact Management Project (IMP), Theory of Change, and even a touch of futuristic planning always brightens my day and I love to see these tools being pushed to their limit by complex interventions. Especially when I got to explore them through the lens of the ecosystem influence of an extraordinarily talented group of global experts. I'm honoured to have had the chance to guide such an exceptional team on their journey of asking questions and exploring new perspectives. #Methodology #Ecosystem #Impact
