SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP: MAKING MEANING Vera Solutions: Data for Social Enterprises One of the best ways to find co-founders is to meet while working together on a project because you can gain insights into that person's values and work ethic in a way you could never achieve through a rsum or interview. Zak Kaufman, Taylor Downs, and Karti Subramanian met in 2008 in South Africa, where they were all working on an HIV-prevention project. They quickly discovered that one of the biggest time wasters for the organization was the paperwork required to provide the regular donor reports. They were drowning in data and no one had the time to keep it updated. The trio decided to solve the problem by building an application that would track the hundreds of thousands of people the project served, logging outcomes and tracking every step of the prevention process. The application was so successful in reducing the reporting burden that Zak, Taylor, and Karti figured it might also help other organizations. They decided to launch Vera Solutions to provide "simple, cost-effective technology to help social impact organizations ask and answer increasingly targeted and relevant questions about their operations and performance." As of 2014 , they had supplied the technology to more than 80 organizations in more than 30 countries. In 2012 , this successful founding team was selected as one of the Forbes "30 Under 30 in Social Entrepreneurship."
