Kevin Starr

Managing Director, Mulago Foundation

Biography

Kevin Starr leads the Mulago Foundation. Mulago finds, funds, advises, and promotes organizations with scalable solutions to poverty. Mulago’s Rainer and Henry Fellows programs teach carefully selected social entrepreneurs how to design their solutions for maximum impact at big scale.

Kevin began working on the foundation in 1995 while he was still practicing medicine. Most of the first decade was spent with organizations in the field, and over time he made a full transition from medicine to Mulago. At present, the foundation supports 50+ organizations: Mulago funding is unrestricted, minimal hassle, and continues as long as there is momentum toward impact at scale. Kevin has taught hundreds of social entrepreneurs and likes nothing better. He and the Mulago team are in San Francisco.
