In part one of two, Scale Collaborative co-founders Kristi Riviat and Kristi Fairholm Mader share how they set out over a decade ago to help community initiatives scale for greater impact. Joined by Lee Herrin, they took on the challenge of creating a shared workspace, eventually leading them to theDock – Centre for Social Impact. They discuss early struggles, pivotal moments, and how they navigated unexpected challenges to build a thriving hub for a diverse clientele.
