What is Social Entrepreneurship?

It's not just about business and money. In other fields, entrepreneurship does not involve creating individual profit, however the principles are the same: developing an innovative idea, a new way of doing things or seeing things, getting support for the idea, being able to implement the idea, bringing things to fruition.

Many of ASU programs including the Edson Student Entrepreneur Initiative, Entrepreneurial Advantage Project and Pathways to Entrepreneurship Grants have been used to fund projects where the value created was of a social nature. If you have an interest in social issues, be sure to consider any of those programs as funding opportunities.
