 * Unreasonable was a catalyst for ThinkCERCA. As a CEO, I would highlight
   Unreasonable as the source of the best changes in my practice and growth as a
   CEO. If you are an entrepreneur and you ever have the chance to become a part
   of this network, take full advantage of it. Without hesitation it has been
   one of the most enriching of my life personally and professionally, a
   game-changer for our company.
   
   Eileen Murphy - Fellow
   
   Founder & CEO of ThinkCERCA; Educator & Entrepreneur

 * The Office of Global Partnerships at the U.S. Department of State is honored
   to consider the team at Unreasonable partners. Our collaboration over the
   years has proven to me that if you are looking to solve society's toughest
   challenges, you'd be lucky to find a partner like the Unreasonable Group.
   
   Thomas DeBass - Partner & Mentor
   
   Managing Director of Global Partnerships, U.S. State Department

   centrically on backing for-profit entrepreneurs positioned to solve the
   world's hardest and most meaningful problems. One of the highlights of my
   professional career and one of the most insightful and heartfelt experiences
   I've ever had is the honor of being an Unreasonable Mentor.
   
   Pascal Finette - Mentor
   
   Chair for Entrepreneurship & Open Innovation at Singularity; Co-Founder at Be
   Radical

 * Unreasonable has provided me and my company, EcoPost, with a life-changing
   network of support that has not only impacted me but in turn thousands of
   youth and women in Kenya. It has catapulted Ecopost years ahead of where we
   would have been. I strongly believe Unreasonable represents the most
   impactful and effective fund, organization, and accelerator of our time.
   
   Lorna Rutto - Fellow
   
   Founder & CEO of EcoPost

   that rivals even the most intelligent and respected funds in Silicon Valley.

 * Unreasonable Group represents a cultural shift. We've tried aid and
   philanthropy, and those are crucial, but complex issues need multiple,
   innovative levers, and that's where Unreasonable plays a crucial role. They
   are proving not just that we can move beyond aid. But that we must.
   
   Alonzo Fulghum — Mentor
   
   Former Acting Director at USAID; Executive Vice President at VIATEQ

 * Being a part of Unreasonable has fortified d.light with a powerful and
   unrivaled network of mentors and fellow entrepreneurs. Today, we have brought
   solar to over 75 million people across the developing world. Though
   significant, we have a long way to go to reach nearly 2 billion people
   without reliable electricity. With the Unreasonable community at our side,
   I'm confident d.light will achieve our vision of universal clean energy
   access.
   
   Sam Goldman — Fellow
   
   Founder & President of d.light

   profit and impact providing a unique combination of insight and smart
   innovative thinking combined with unwavering energy and enthusiasm. They have

   push innovation further and faster and always exceeding expectations.

   Unreasonable's global network, do not miss this opportunity. To be an
   Unreasonable entrepreneur has been a game-changer for me. The global
   community of entrepreneurs at Unreasonable will undoubtedly be remembered by
   future generations as having helped define progress in our time and I'm
   grateful to be a part of it.
