Event Description

We are living in the Era of Purpose. We see this all around us as consumers proudly shop their values, graduates demand more purpose-driven work and impact investment and social procurement grow rapidly.

Just in the last year the world's biggest public investor, BlackRock, announced they would consider social and environmental impact alongside financial performance in their investment decisions and the CEO's of 181 of America's biggest companies, including Apple, Amazon, Cisco, Citigroup, Motorola, Nasdaq and many more, announced that companies must consider stakeholders beyond shareholders.

There is absolutely no doubt that having a purpose gives businesses an edge. But confusion also reigns. What even is a social enterprise? How can we distinguish them and is this more than just purpose-washing? Can you make a living, and build wealth, while also doing good? What are the wider forces that are driving the rise of social enterprise?

This workshop, led by StartSomeGood's co-founder and CEO Tom Dawkins, a globally-recognised expert on social enterprise and innovation, will demystify social enterprise - exploring what they are, why the number is growing so fast and the opportunity that they provide for all entrepreneurs looking to make a difference.

We will cover:

1) What is a social enterprise, really, and what are the different impact models social enterprises use;

2) The trends that are fueling the growth of social enterprises today and how these trends create tangible advantages for impact-focused businesses;

3) What's involved in designing and launching a social enterprise?

4) The formula for successfully launching new enterprises we've seen work at StartSomeGood, where we have the highest project success rate in cause crowdfunding.

Join us to find out what's going on in this space and be inspired about what is possible!
