What is the Problem?
Starting a social enterprise is tough. Sustaining and scaling it is even tougher.
What is the Opportunity?
Having had the privilege of working closely with 200 of the world´s leading social entrepreneurs that are part of the Schwab Foundation´s community for the past 12 years, I can share a few observations and lessons. Some of the key questions are around how to finance a social enterprise, the importance of considering governance questions early on, how do you grow the enterprise and how do you find and retain talent?
Building New Opportunity
