NobleReach® is proud to announce its official launch, marking a
significant milestone in the organization's journey of growth and
impact to help inspire the brightest minds in America to become
mission-driven changemakers. Since its founding in 2022, NobleReach
has achieved notable early milestones and grown into a dynamic team
of over 50 dedicated professionals committed to strengthening the
security and prosperity of our nation through talent and
innovation.
- National Bestseller Release, "Venture Meets Mission”: Authored
by NobleReach’s Arun Gupta and Thomas Fewer, “Venture Meets
Mission” has garnered national acclaim, offering invaluable
insights for individuals and organizations striving to positively
impact the world by bringing together the entrepreneurial agility
of the private sector, the talent of academia, and the scale and
purpose of the public sector.
- Inaugural Scholars Program: NobleReach launched its inaugural
Scholars Program to create opportunities for recent graduates with
degrees in STEM and entrepreneurship to experience a tour of public
service through positions created specifically for our Scholars
across a wide array of federal agencies and participate in our
signature professional development program to help create the next
generation of mission-driven changemakers.
- Expansion of Intern Program: Building on the success of its
inaugural year, NobleReach is set to double the size of our intern
program, which will include students from a range of universities.
The program will provide invaluable service-minded experiential
learning and professional development opportunities for emerging
talent.
- NobleReach Emerge: Core to unlocking the promise of
government-funded research to drive innovation is Emerge’s model to
bring top talent and a fresh perspective to development and
commercialization. Through novel partnerships with the National
Science Foundation (NSF) and Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA), NobleReach Emerge’s unique approach to developing
and commercializing mission-critical research has driven positive
results for researchers and the government alike, having helped
commercialize over 90 ventures and raise $1.3B in funding.
- Academic Partnerships: To support our goal of creating the next
generation of mission-driven changemakers, NobleReach has
cultivated robust academic partnerships, collaborating with over 50
universities to develop curricula and convenings that foster
innovation and excellence in public service.
- Innovation for Public Service Certificate: In collaboration
with Purdue University’s College of Engineering, NobleReach has
launched the Innovation for Public Service™ Certificate. This
first-in-the-nation program inspires engineering students to
explore public service and empowers them to tackle societal
problems that align with government needs.
- Innovation for Impact: In line with NobleReach's commitment to
innovative partnerships with academic institutions to promote
public service and innovation, the organization has incorporated
and rebranded the Common Mission Project's Hacking for Impact
initiative into "Innovation for Impact" to offer a proven
entrepreneurial approach to help solve common challenges in climate
and other domains. This addition enriches our expanding portfolio
of university programs across our university partners geared toward
mission-driven initiatives.
- Mission-Driven Industry Partners: NobleReach’s collaboration
with over 15 leading finance and technology organizations
highlights its commitment to helping build the needed bridge
between the public and private sectors. We engage with these
organizations in our continued effort to inspire the next
generation of change-makers to seek out mission-driven
opportunities and careers.
"As Board Chair, I am thrilled to see the progress that
NobleReach has made to fulfill the charitable goals of the Board in
creating the organization two years ago. By fostering academic
programs, top-tier talent programs, and purposeful innovation,
we're shaping the future and nurturing the next generation of
mission-driven leaders," said the Hon. Lisa Disbrow, Board
