Happy sustainability discussions...

Following the success of our last "mixer", you are invited to an impromptu and informal event at which WNSF is delighted to launch a partnership with OneLeap, a social network for connecting professionals and business opportunities globally. Co-founders of OneLeap, Robyn Scott and Hamish Forsyth, will be presenting their cutting-edge business model, visions and ideas of social media.
OneLeap has a bold, can-do ethos and unapologetically interweaves philanthropy and business. Many have described it as an American child born in Britain. The reception from US networks with which OneLeap is already working - including the Gates community, Ivy Leagues and several top US charities - has been superb. The site recently brought on a high profile US board member, Leila Janah, one of Silicon Valley's leading social entrepreneurs. OneLeap will be scaling up their US engagement over the remainder of this year, with co-founder Hamish Forsyth establishing a US presence in New York in early 2012.
OneLeap's select list, oneleap.to/InspiringWomen, is already leveraging the platform to showcase women leaders in enterprise, social enterprise, the corporate world and the arts. Collaborating on this list is just one of the ways in which OneLeap and WNSF are working together to strengthen and highlight the leadership role of women in business.
About OneLeap
OneLeap is a London-based company which uses a deposit, set by the market, to help fix communication for busy people. OneLeap enables talented people with great ideas to get through to the professional contacts they need for job, invenstement, mentor or client opportunities.
Anyone on OneLeap can get directly through to anyone else on OneLeap - but only if they're preparted to put down a deposit. This makes for more considered messages, and screens time-wasters. If the messaged presented mutual value, the recipient can refund it. If not, they can send it to charity. OneLeap takes a flat 20% on messages. The deposit is refunded 100% if a message does not receive a reply in 10 days.
