It’s never been easy to make social change but it is possible with technology and the right approach. New startups addressing social issues will be working within deep-rooted and often complex systems.

The more fundamental point is your sustainability plan, and the mix of market and subsidized revenue you plan to tap. You also need to decide how to measure the success of your mission. This is where metrics come in.
