The world needs meaningful solutions and social enterprises, social impact ventures, and non-profits play a crucial role in this.
However, they struggle with scaling their business and as a result their impact. Why?
For all the social entrepreneurs in the Nordics and beyond, we have invited Tove Nordström, the Executive Director of SE Forum - a leading social impact mobilization organization from Sweden - to discuss how to build and scale resilient social ventures and non-profits.
In this fireside chat we focus on:
⭐️ Social entrepreneurship vs. entrepreneurship - what's the difference?
⭐️ What makes a social enterprise or impact venture unique?
⭐️ What common challenges these ventures encounter?
⭐️ If you are a social entrepreneur, what is and where is your support ecosystem?
⭐️ What is your long-term game as a social entrepreneur? In startups, it is an exit - what's the end reward for a social entrepreneur?
⭐️ Scaling social ventures - how to make it happen?
⭐️ How to raise funding for social impact?
⭐️ Who is best equipped to run a social impact venture?
The discussion will be moderated by Naimul Abd - Regional Director Nordics at Startup Grind, CEO at Connect East, and Nordic head for Founder Institute, Nutty Ventures, and Founders Live.
