Sparrow is a mobile company with a big vision: Digital Inclusion for All. We are taking aim at poverty in the U.S. with a mobile services platform designed to connect the poor—and the organizations that serve them—with the mobile economy. A 500 Startups company, we are applying Silicon Valley smarts to build a company with deep impact and strong financial performance. Our primary strategy for delivering both income and impact is partnering with nonprofits and agencies serving the poor and powering their mobile impact campaigns with donated devices, subsidized calling, texting, and data plans, and training people on how to use the devices to get jobs, housing, and access social services. We also have a retail offering, where we offer the first buy one, give one mobile plans, donating a device or service to someone in need for every retail customer. Finally, we have a robust IP strategy and a platform to connect retail customers directly to the impact they enable.
