FastFWD gives the following descriptive information:
FastFWD, formerly the Philadelphia Social Enterprise Partnership, was conceived as a way to bridge entrepreneurship with urban problems of the day. The effort was initially funded by a $1 million grant from the Bloomberg Philanthropies to the City of Philadelphia, GoodCompany Group and the Wharton Social Impact Initiative.
Entrepreneurial innovation has a vital role to play in tackling today’s toughest urban challenges – the launch of FastFWD unlocks unprecedented opportunities for entrepreneurs to collaborate with cities to source, cultivate, and deploy solutions to pressing problems facing cities across the country.
Its first class of public safety startups graduated in June 2014. Three companies were selected by the city of Philadelphia to pilot their products.
