We are thrilled to announce the beginning of a new chapter in the evolution of expert networks – the launch of our Amitypather community.
Amitypathers are curious, helpful, and between – between sectors, between silos, between the challenges of today and the possibilities of tomorrow. They are the connectors, the catalysers, the quiet force behind extraordinary achievements. And now, for the first time, we’re building a community that recognises and rewards them for the powerful role they play.
What some people call luck, we believe to be unacknowledged help. If you want to be luckier, it helps to get better at acknowledging the help you’re getting as Joe MacDonald does in the amazing growth of Scoutd.AI.
We’re starting to invite selected individuals to become Amitypathers as we develop a new generation of expert network, one that truly reflects the diversity, dynamism, and interconnectedness of the real world. As an Amitypather, you’ll be part of a growing, globally ambitious community of problem solvers, innovators, and pathfinders – and you’ll be invited to engage with real-world challenges from a pipeline of corporate, public sector, and SME clients who are looking to tap into your insights, experience, and network.
But here’s what makes the Amitypathers different:
We track community building – not just outcomes.
If you introduce someone who achieves great things, we ensure you are recognised too. Because we believe that the people who open doors and create connections should be part of the story, not just footnotes.
This belief is rooted in research by Sohan Dsouza during his time at the MIT Media Lab, and it’s informed by the ecosystem insights I developed while leading one of the world’s foremost innovation ecosystems. We’ve built Amitypath to ensure that recognition flows not only to those who solve problems, but also to those who connect the solvers.
We see this every month in the Walkabouts we host around the UK – moments of generosity, curiosity, and serendipity where strangers become collaborators, and ideas find new homes. Walkabouts have shown us how many people are playing unsung roles in helping others succeed — and we’re building the Amitypather community to shine a light on them.
Becoming an Amitypather is a way to participate in the growth and thriving of the Walkabout movement, and to help shape a smarter, more connected society where value flows to those who contribute – through insights, introductions, and inspiration.
If you receive an invitation to join, we look forward to welcoming you into a community designed to help you make a difference, and to help others see the value in what you bring.
And if you’re wondering how your organisation could benefit from the Amitypathers’ collective intelligence – get in touch. With a global, diverse and highly skilled community like this, you might be closer than you think to your next breakthrough.
And in the meantime…
