ACCESS

Increasing Access & Inclusion in the Social Innovation Ecosystem
It may come as no surprise that the average entrepreneur profile skews towards white, male, and well-off. A number of systemic inequities contribute to this predisposition such as lack of access to education and resources, lack of social capital, and lack of funding. When it comes to social entrepreneurship, diversity measures increase a bit, but the same inequalities persist leaving even the most innovative and impactful business ideas to be snuffed out before they're even fully formed.
