AtmaGo Impact 2016
I found out from AtmaGo the police tip line
to report crime on public transit. AtmaGo
helped me feel safer during my commute
at night.
-Asep
I find out from AtmaGo what to do during
a flood, how to avoid it, and what is
happening in the neighborhood.
-Inayati
I love AtmaGo because it gives me a way to help
other people. All the other social media is ‘ego
media’—look what I am wearing or look what I am
doing. AtmaGo is something different.

12.  Lean start-up and human centered design are powerful
tools in development
 More organizations (for-profit, non-profit, government)
need to focus on poor and vulnerable people as users
 Lean impact organizations need significant, sustained
and flexible funding so they can keep responding to their
users’ needs – and build the transformative solutions we
need.
