Behind Harriet

Nikka Lemons, PhD.

Our founder is a fierce advocate of democracy and is unwavering in her belief in human potential to solve some of the world’s most pressing issues. Her work exists at the intersection of urban planning, good governance, economic development, and operational coherence/organizational design. Her lived experience as a first-generation student navigating the complexity of acquiring capital (social, economic, and cultural) deeply informed her understanding of the distinct barriers encountered by individual users. Additionally, her decades of practitioner expertise as an operational coherence and social impact strategist in multiple sectors informs her deep insight into institutional problems of practice. 

Through academic training, practitioner experience, and scholarship, she has been able to deconstruct the underlying matters that create–and are needed–to rebuild under-resourced communities and connectivity to move us toward holistic, resilient, and human-centered solutions. Harriet is our founder’s heartfelt effort at releasing untapped potential and resourcing communities. Harriet does this seamlessly and efficiently.

Purpose

We optimize the power of technology in order to ensure people, community organizations, and corporations are empowered to achieve their complex goals. We eliminate connectivity and insights-oriented barriers.

Harriet: Identify, Connect, Solve, Impact.

Marketing Strategy

Mission

We exist to harness the maximum power of technology to help solve our most salient issues and achieve optimal functioning of institutions, community organizations, and human potential.

Business Consultation

Vision

We envision a world whereby social capital and connectivity do not impede individuals from accessing upward mobility. 

We envision a world where community-based organizations are unimpeded by access to resources and network asymmetry as they strive to solve a locale’s and vulnerable populations' most pressing challenges. 

We envision a world whereby corporations and institutions are able to easily and conveniently deploy their resources (e.g., time, staff, funding) and make informed decisions to support the stability of their local communities, economy, and government.

Data-Driven Solutions

The Quartet: Big Data, Community Data, Forecasting, and the Harriet Model

Our data is positioned at the intersection of direct community input, current big data, forecasted hyper-local data, and filtered through our copyrighted model. As a result, we prescribe interventions (e.g. programs, projects, investments, etc.) that are responsive to the current and combat the impending compounding of barriers onset by the global disruptors (climate change, hyper-urbanization, pandemics, automation, and wealth inequality). We do the analysis for you and recommend the solutions!

Let’s make a change together!

Cross-sector Collaboration

Well, we wouldn’t call ourselves matchmakers–but we kind of are! We prescribe the partners, and our users do the rest. Search, filter, and rate projects–then let the matchmaking begin. Users are able to view full project descriptions as well as interested partners and collaborate to make it happen.

Granular Focus

Mission Alignment

Issuing RFPs, issuing announcements, and reviewing submissions is time-consuming. While we don’t expire this process, we offer a compliment–search, filter, remit funds, and print a social impact analysis report. Our process allows you to search by demographic, location, mission focus, urgency, and impact. Take your pick–help a single parent mom afford rapid reskilling or support gap funding of elderly affordable housing.
