2013MakeSense : Now in Brazil, the problem-solving platform looks to expand
MakeSense is an open project created to solve the myriad challenges that social entrepreneurs face. On the site, entrepreneurs are invited to enter their daily trials and tribulations, and solicit remedies from users. In addition, the site organizes "hold-up" events, in which, for three hours, a "gangster" (that is, a member of MakeSense) leads a brainstorming session with 10 to 15 people to offer solutions for a particular entrepreneur’s challenge.
