ABOUT THIS CLASS:

Social entrepreneurs are continuing to explore new and innovative ways to spark change through business, including the creation of for-profit entities as a vehicle for impact. If you are thinking of launching a for profit social venture, one of your early concerns will likely be: How do I fund this company? While social enterprise development relies on a number of best practices from the non-profit sector - like mission development, impact measurement, and multi-stakeholder engagement - for profit companies are participating in a distinct marketplace when it comes to financing. This guide will provide an overview of the for-profit investment ecosystem, help you think about what types of financing are appropriate for your business, and begin preparing you to pitch.

Funding options for startup social entrepreneursHow to get into the mind of an investorHow to understand what investors are looking for and what they are motivated byThe steps a social entrepreneur can take as they prepare to raise capital
