    Thumbs up Social Entrepreneurship and Profit

    I am the ED for www.csef.ca and was interested to see if there is anyone in this forum that writes about Social Entrepreneurship or has been following the development of the sector?

    Does anyone have any examples of profitable Social Entrepreneurial ventures? An example would be http://www.grameen-info.org/ or www.benetech.org .


    Thanks!

    sure, just have a look at the holdings of ethical mutual funds

    althought, most of these wouldn't be nascent companies

    you could get some sponsorship from them however

    socally responsible companies begat social responsible startups

    Edit: Just now noticied.

    Does anyone have any examples of profitable Social Entrepreneurial ventures?
    That question is sort of paradoxical lol.

    Interesting, so aren't most non-profit founders Social Entrepreneurs? I am forming a non-profit to support planting trees along highways (in Indiana we don't have many along highways as opposed to other states I have traveled to that do).
