About 2/2 … /News: We cover news stories from green to microfinance, and almost everything in between. If there is an entrepreneur who is a making a genuine difference in the world via their business, we would be happy to do a story on them.
While our core focus is social entrepreneurship, we will also share stories of individuals and organizations (non-profits, for profits, charitable, venture capital) that are uplifting the human race via their work.
Perspective:
If you’ve visited us a few times, you’re probably familiar with our unique vernacular. To help contextualize, we’d like to share a few definitions:
- Social ill- poverty, disease, illiteracy, homelessness, global warming, violence- you get the idea
- Genuine Difference- a business which is whole heartedly and consciously doing good. NOT increasing shareholder value via child labor or creating jobs via pollution.
- Social Entrepreneur- an individual utilizing basic operational principles of a for-profit enterprise to create positive social change. While many social entrepreneurs create non-profit organizations, we believe social entrepreneurs can and should be creating for-profits enterprises which concurrently solve social or environmental issues.
