Making international news in the past week, Bob and Jeanne Grabowski’s son-in-law Bart Skorupa’s non-profit, Mobile Pathways, has been selected for the London School of Economics 100X Accelerator fellowship. Bart co-founded Mobile Pathways in 2018. The 100X Accelerator program identifies, invests in, and accelerates the most promising social enterprises that are addressing the world’s most pressing social problems. Mobile Pathways is one of 15 organizations selected out of over 800 applicants. The fellowship includes catalytic grant funding, mentoring, and networking.
Bart is married to Bob and Jeanne’s daughter, Heather. He was born Bartlomiej Skorupa in Poland. As an immigrant from Poland, trailblazing his own path around the world, Bart became a serial social entrepreneur and best-selling author who dedicates his life to inspiring leadership on a global scale.
