Learn more about finding your ‘first money’ and grow your understanding of investment, philanthropy, sales and the legal considerations for social entrepreneurs.
Social entrepreneurs are powered by passion and inspiration, but you quickly reach a point where you need money as well. Where this money will come from is one of the great questions all start-ups must answer. The key is to find the right capital at the right time, but how do you know what that is? The funding you seek has implications for your legal structure and next steps, which you should think about before you start.
Panel discussion and Q&A with experienced social entrepreneurs: Amy Orange (founder, Collab4Good and Harvest Fair), Dr Vanessa Rauland (founder, ClimateClever) and Cameron Neil (founder, Red Hat Impact and Ethical Fields)
