2008 Social Venture Institute
Up one levelJoin the Sustainable Business Network for the 7th Annual Social Venture Institute, a two-day educational conference for social entrepreneurs to learn how to take advantages of opportunities in the green economy. We have trained over 700 entrepreneurs over the last six years. Last year, 40% of participants were people of color and 66% were women.
Participants say that the Social Venture Institute is one of the best investments they have made in their enterprises. The combination of high quality mentors, a confident & supportive environment, and a practical problem solving format enables participants to acquire a rich portfolio of skills and a network of contacts to support their enterprise.
