Enspiral defies simple explanation. It is many things to many people at once. It is a mutual aid network. It is a social impact entrepreneurial incubator. It is a future of work and new economy catalyst. It is a collection of channels on different mediums punctuated by meet-ups and retreats. It is a network of colleagues and friends. It’s none of these things and all of them at once. You’ll get a different answer for what it is from each person you ask. Myself, Emma Buck, and Emmi Bevensee, through Rebellious Data, set out to try and get an answer, if not a definitive one, then one that captured all of this complexity. In May, we proposed, and got funded within Enspiral, to do an impact report of the Enspiral Network. Doing impact evaluation on an organization like this is far different and more complex than on anything else we’ve worked on. In four years, Enspiral evolved from a vision of "more people working on stuff that matters" to a global network of socially-minded individuals and enterprises.
