In this series, we’ve featured three amazing entrepreneurs backed by Fast Forward, a trailblazing accelerator backing tech nonprofits solving urgent, global problems at scale.&nbsp;Summer quite literally drives Fast Forward forward; shaping the strategic vision and building the systems that get the organisation there.
