UNREASONABLE INSTITUTE: Episode 3 – Wrench, Ratchet, and Rafael

This is one of my favorite episodes from the series:

This Episode brings an intimate story of the development of one of the Unreasonable Ventures — Uber Shelter. The story is drawn throughout the greater story of week 3 at the Institute and showcases the entrepreneurs pitching to a rigurous audience in Boudler. We highlight Rafael’s progress throughout the Institute and invite you to explore how the mentors and the structure of the Institute facilitate idea generation, growth, support and business modeling. After months of struggling to define what Uber Shelter stands for as a viable business, Rafael is now designing an innovative business solution to meet the needs of the emergency response.

A little prologue to Rafael’s story: Rafael is actually headed to Haiti to try out a new prototype of the shelter. You can read more about his organization HERE.
