I'm thrilled to announce that Enable Ventures has invested in Mindset Care's $13 million financing round. Mindset Care is a groundbreaking company that is democratizing and strengthening access to the Social Security Disability benefits program. The Social Security application process has long been needlessly complicated and analog, and yet the program is a cornerstone of our system of basic income security and, further, access to health care. This investment reflects our profound conviction that responsible tech designed in concert with those closest to the problem has the great power to improve access to vital government programs and to bolster the public system's approach to its customers. I am excited to work closely with Mindset Care's visionary Founder Darren Webb, as he continues his work in transforming access points to Social Security for the approximately 16 million people who apply for benefits annually, by working to substantially reduce administrative time and burden in applications. Darren, who has been caregiver for a loved one with schizophrenia for the last 15 years, founded the company last year. When he tried to get this person back on disability benefits after they were released from incarceration, he got in touch with local attorneys and was inundated with about two to three pounds of paperwork to fill out and send back. Mindset Care is on course to relieve these burdens and drive true systems change.

As the Victoria Forum neared its close, the session "Advancing Social Change Through Outcomes Finance" brought together Jeffrey Cyr from Raven Indigenous Outcomes Funds, Teresa Dukes from the Social Innovation Office, and our very own Janis Dubno, MBA from Sorenson Impact Institute for an insightful discussion on the transformative potential of Outcomes Finance. Moderated by Louise Savell from Social Finance UK, the session highlighted how linking funding to measurable outcomes can create more sustainable and impactful solutions to the social challenges we face. It has been a meaningful three days of discussions, reinforcing the importance of collective efforts across sectors and geographies to build a more equitable, sustainable future. As we move forward, the ideas and connections fostered here will serve as a catalyst for continued progress in advancing social change through innovative financial approaches. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved, especially to the Victoria Forum for organizing such an impactful event. #victoriaforum #impactfinance #socialfinance #sorensonimpact
