Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man” (George Bernard Swaw, 1903) Dr. JM Luzarraga – ETEO-MU – Sustainable Development - April 2009
    6. Social entrepreneurs are… Innovative, Resourceful, Practical and Opportunistic,… as any other entrepreneurs But… What motivates social entrepreneurs is not doing the “DEAL” but achieving the “IDEAL” So they have a long term commitment with their projects Most Social entrepreneurs stumble across the opportunity to SERVE OTHERS Common inspiration is: “You have to be the change you want to see in the world” (Gandhi) Dr. JM Luzarraga – ETEO-MU – Sustainable Development - April 2009
    7. Why are they unreasonable? Because… They Want to Change the World They are insanely ambitious They are propelled by emotions They think they know the future They seek profit in unprofitable pursuits They ignore the evidence They try to Measure the Unmeasurable They refuse to be made into Superheroes They are, well, unreasonable Dr. JM Luzarraga – ETEO-MU – Sustainable Development - April 2009
    8. Characteristics of Successful Social entrepreneurs Try to shrug off the constraints of ideology or discipline Identify & apply practical solutions to social problems, combining innovation, resourcefulness, and opportunity Innovate by finding a new product, a new service, or a new approach to a social problem Focus-first & foremost-on social value creation and, in that spirit, are willing to share their innovations & insights for other to replicate Jump in before ensuring they are fully resourced Have an unwavering belief in everyone’s innate capacity, often regardless of education, to contribute meaningfully to economic & social development Show a dogged determination that pushes them to take risks that others wouldn’t dare Balance their passion for change with a zeal to measure and monitor their impact Have a great deal to teach change makers in other sectors Display a healthy impatience Dr. JM Luzarraga – ETEO-MU – Sustainable Development - April 2009

    11. Traditional classification Model 1: Leveraged Nonprofit ventures A public good is being delivered to the most economically vulnerable, who do not have access to, or are unable to afford, the service rendered Both the entrepreneur and the organization are change catalysts, with a central goal of enabling direct beneficiaries to assume ownership of the initiative Multiple external partners are actively involved in supporting the venture financially, politically, and in kind The founding entrepreneur morphs into a figurehead, in some cases for the wider movement, as others assume responsibilities and leadership Dr. JM Luzarraga – ETEO-MU – Sustainable Development - April 2009

    13. Traditional classification Model 2: Hybrid Nonprofit ventures Goods or services are delivered to populations that have been excluded or underserved by mainstream markets, but the notion of making a profit is not totally out of the question Sooner or later the founding entrepreneur or his/her team, typically develops a marketing plan to ensure that the poor or otherwise disadvantaged can access the product or service being provided The enterprise is able to recover a portion of its costs through the sale of goods & services, in the process often identifying new markets To sustain activities & address the unmet needs of poor or otherwise marginalized clients, the entrepreneur mobilizes funds from public, private, and/or philanthropic organizations in the form of grants, loans As mainstream investors & business enter the picture, even when they are not seeking mainstream financial returns, they push to become model 3 Dr. JM Luzarraga – ETEO-MU – Sustainable Development - April 2009

    15. Traditional classification Model 3: Social Business ventures The entrepreneur sets up the venture as a business with the specific mission to drive transformational social and/or environmental change Profits are generated, but the aim is not maximize financial returns for shareholders but instead to financially benefit low-income groups and to grow the social venture by reinvestment, enabling it to reach and serve more people The entrepreneur seeks out investors interested in combining financial and social returns The enterprise’s financing-and scaling- opportunities can be significantly greater because social business can more easily take on debt and equity Dr. JM Luzarraga – ETEO-MU – Sustainable Development - April 2009
