| PODCAST E.24 | ALEJANDRO JUAREZ CRAWFORD & ASWAN CARBONELL @ REBELBASE
ABOUT: RebelBase was built to provide tools to everyday people so that they can replace what’s failing and build what’s next. Our mission is to show teams how to tackle problems the way entrepreneurs do – by launching new solutions. We believe that in today’s world to survive means to reinvent, not from the “top” down, but throughout a dynamic and empowered community. RebelBase turns the entrepreneurial method into a digital experience that shows teams of all kinds what to do as they build – making the process accessible and fun.
Alejandro leads RebelBase, the SaaS equipping teams of employees, students, and community members to build solutions of their own. Whether you want to launch your company, figure out where your business needs to be 5 years from now, or solve problems in your community, RebelBase shows you how, then gives you the tools to make it happen. Alejandro also serves as Professor of Entrepreneurship at the Bard MBA in Sustainability, and leads the global team of co-instructors for the Open Society University Network’s Social Entrepreneurship Practicum. Previously, he led boutique consultancy Acceleration Group. He earned his BA at Cornell and his MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. Crawford has led RebelBase as it built and successfully commercialized its library of educational modules, cloud-based interactive tools, and state-of-the-art methodology. In 2020-2021, his research has expanded to university systems from Bangladesh to Kyrgyzstan, and how practice launching live experiments using a global platform transforms skills, mindset, and networks. He writes and speaks widely on expanding access to innovation, and keynotes events such as Erasmus+ ISYEC and Europe’s Towards Collaborative Practice. Recent publications include “An Ecosystem Framework for Credentialing Entrepreneurs,” from the Research Triangle Institute, and a chapter in the Federal Reserve’s Investing in America’s Workforce (Upjohn, 2018). In 2020 he co-won the Roddenberry Award to create a documentary about game-changing initiatives developed using the RebelBase platform.
