At SMASH, innovation isn’t a buzzword. It’s how we build, who we learn from, and the leaders who help guide our work. That’s why we’re proud to share that Mitch Kapor, a founding donor and longtime Board member of SMASH, has been named to the Forbes Innovator 250 for 2026. From founding Lotus 1-2-3 to advancing gap-closing investing with Freada Kapor Klein, Mitch has spent decades proving that profit and purpose can move together and that technology can be a force for good. 🔗 bit.ly/3Mjteva #SMASH #InnovationWithPurpose #ForbesInnovator250
