Meet These Social Entrepreneurs at SOCAP25
We are proud to announce this year’s SOCAP Global cohort of inspiring and innovative social founders as part our Fellowship Program. As this annual program has evolved, we’ve provided a holistic hybrid experience for our cohort and any partner cohorts attending SOCAP. The SOCAP Global cohort has been selected by investors in our SOCAP community through a competitive and rigorous application and selection process.
Fellows receive unique access to SOCAP’s network of investors, donors, and changemakers. They also have the chance to present and network with the SOCAP audience at the annual flagship event, which will take place from October 27 to 29 in San Francisco. The SOCAP Fellowship also offers a one-of-a-kind partnership opportunity, inviting organizations to bring their entrepreneur and/or funder cohorts to the event.
Get to Know the SOCAP25 Fellows
This year’s cohort of SOCAP Global Fellows represents founders creating incredible solutions to pressing social, cultural, and environmental challenges around the globe! All are investment-ready, for-profit entrepreneurs who have social impact as a core focus of their venture and are actively seeking funding. These 10 entrepreneurs, from more than 12 countries, were selected from hundreds of applications for this year’s program. Check out the Fellowship lookbook for details on each entrepreneur, their venture, and their funding needs. Interested in connecting with the 2025 Fellows? Contact Sarah Sterling (sarah@socapglobal.com) to be put in touch.
SOCAP is grateful to our Fellowship Advisory Committee members for giving us their time and expertise in selecting this year’s cohort:
- Alexander Pan, Echoing Green
- Nathalie Prado, EcoEnterprises Fund
- Dipti Pratt, Toniic
- Rob Tashima, DRK Foundation
- Caroline von Hirschberg, Spring Activator
Our unique virtual program leading up to our in-person event was co-designed by our alumni community of founders and will consist of four months of virtual programming on five strategy tracks:
- Investment Readiness, led by Miller Center for Global Impact
- Communications & Risk Management, led by Mission & Purpose
- Storytelling and Networking, led by Story & Spirit, Kokoro, and Moving Worlds
The 2025 SOCAP Global cohort will also participate in peer networking opportunities and be actively connected to funders on site at SOCAP25.
Leading up to SOCAP, we will be curating connections for all of our Fellows through our Curated Connections process. Our Fellows will receive virtual training on how to best identify funders attending SOCAP who match their capital needs and will be directly connected with them by the SOCAP team. If you are a funder looking for new opportunities, don’t hesitate to reach out to us to be connected to one of our Fellows!
