Where a social entrepreneur can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a social entrepreneur already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Social entrepreneurs create innovative products or service models to tackle social and environmental challenges, pursuing through their profits a social mission that benefits a wider community or the environment. They often use a more democratic decision-making system by involving closely their stakeholders, and strive to achieve change at a systems level, by influencing policies, market evolutions and even mentalities.

Also known as eco-entrepreneur, green entrepreneur, social business founder, social business venture founder, social enterprise founder.
