More and more, we see '''new organizations that mash up public benefit missions, market strategies and web-like organizing structures'''. Mozilla.  Miro. Wikipedia. Kiva. And many others. For lack of a better term, we call these mission+market+web hybrids.
This was the planning page for the Hybrid Summit @ Mozilla. There are now dedicated pages for the [[Hybrid:Summit:Agenda|Summit agenda]] and a more [[Hybrid:Summit:Agenda | general discussion of hybrid orgs]].
 
On June 16, 2009, a dozen of these organizations will gather in Mountain View California for an informal '''Mission+Market+Web Hybrid Summit'''. The goal is to swap stories, strategize and better understand what makes hybrid organzations hum.
 
A select group of journalists and foundations will be invited as a way to share what we learn at the event.
 
==What, where and when?==
 
'''Mission+Market+Web Hybrid Summit - June 16, 2009'''
 
* 9:30 - 3:30 - Hybrid orgs gather, swap ideas and strategize
* 3:30 - 5:30 - Lightning talks and idea sharing w/ journalists and others
* 6:30 - 8:30 - Dinner hosted by Mozilla
 
Location: new Mozilla offices at 650 Castro Street in Mountain View. See the full draft [[Hybrid:Summit:Agenda | agenda]] for more details.
 
==What's a hybrid organization?==
 
We are talking about '''public benefit organizations born from the web that sit at the intersection of the sharing and market economies'''. They typically ...
 
* '''Put mission first''' in everything they do, but especially in their decisions about products and services.
 
* '''Use market strategies''' to reach scale and have impact. They often compete with dominant commercial players -- or whole industries -- as a way to create massive social impact.
 
* '''Are born from the culture of the web''', with participation, openness and networks at the core of how they operate.
 
At this stage in the game, a hybrid org is a 'know it when you see it' animal. There is no clear and simple definition. But there is an important story to tell. Which, in part, is the reason we need a summit.
 
==Why get together?==
 
We're all in the midst of inventing a new kind of organization. This is exciting. It also means there are no road maps. We want to gather hybrid organizations to:
 
* Learn how each other works, and gather stories that make sense of the world we're building.
 
* Swap skills and techniques that are working (and aren't), from revenue models to community management to organizational structure.
 
* Figure out lightweight ways to share ideas and grow the hybrid org concept on an ongoing basis.
 
* Share our story with journalists to to help them understand why this strange new type of organization is neither a company nor a traditional charity.
 
* Discuss our thinking foundations who want to understand how to invest in organizations with the potential for vast social impact and long-term sustainability.
 
It's pretty much guaranteed that everyone will leave with new friends and new ideas.
 
==Who have we invited?==
