Purpose and Desired Outcome
We aim to challenge and expand participants' definitions of "social impact entrepreneurship" in a way that invites more diverse, more creative, and more equitable solutions. We hope to share learnings, stories, and tools that SEED SPOT has developed over the past decade incubating over 3.000 entrepreneurs. And, we hope to meet other providers and partners who are interested in social entrepreneurship and learn from their experiences and perspectives on this topic.
