Social entrepreneurs act as change agents for society, seizing opportunities others miss in order to improve systems, invent and disseminate new approaches, and advance sustainable solutions that create social value. Communities of highly skilled talent create profitable companies while working to make an impact on a social mission. The job of a social entrepreneur is to recognize when a part of society is stuck and to provide new ways to get it unstuck. He or she finds what is not working and solves the problem by changing the system, spreading the solution, and persuading entire societies to take new leaps.
How do these socially driven firms remain profitable? When do these entrepreneurs put more focus on profits over their social mission? Does one need to care about the mission to be successful in a social start-up? How do these organizations retain top talent?
Chicago Booth invites you to join us in Washington, DC, for a discussion with Booth alumni and social start-up professionals who will share their expertise and perspective on the current environment. Hear their take on the future of social entrepreneurship
