9. Tendrel is a global professional association for systems
entrepreneurs at many stages – or entrepreneurs dedicated not
only to increasing their organization’s social impact, but also to
transforming the systems that perpetuate the social issues they
are trying to solve.
Derived from Tibetan, Tendrel means “interdependence,” or the
idea that all phenomena exist because of dependent relationship
with other phenomena.
