Where it all started

Flywheel launched in 2011. Our purpose? Form an innovative social enterprise hub like no other in the United States. Since then we have mined hundreds of best practices in the nonprofit and for-profit sectors. That’s helped us identify the characteristics most essential to a social enterprise becoming successful and sustainable.
