OpenKollab is developing infrastructure and processes to support its larger mission of Connecting Projects To Solve Massive Social Problems. In service of this larger end, we are developing the Ecosystem Pooled Fund initiative, the objective of which is to develop a model to provide financing to early stage social entrepreneurs (those that are developing projects that delivery both social value and financial return). As you likely know, there is a gap in the funding landscape that makes it very hard for social entrepreneurs to raise seed funds. The gap exists due to the fact that social ventures typically carry high risk but don't necessarily carry high enough financial return to offset this risk since they are not solely focused on financial return.

The Relentless Foundation and New York Entrepreneur Week (NYEW) have been formed around a single belief: entrepreneurs change the world.

In less than the span of a year, New York Entrepreneur Week has become a powerful platform and voice for entrepreneurs. From innovative start-ups to seasoned businesses, we have brought entrepreneurs together to be counted as a force of change in a challenging economic climate. With your help, we have catapulted this movement into an event attended by over ten thousand entrepreneurs!

But we’re ready to do more. The Relentless Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit, needs your help to propel the entrepreneurial experience to the next level of national and global events that will unite and inspire all entrepreneurs to make a greater difference.

The Feast is hosting a Twitter-based chat later today for all you changemakers and entrepreneurs! They’ll be tweeting questions such as “what are your favorite examples of social entrepreneurship” and looking for remarkable people like you to help answer them!

Join in: Wednesday, September 9th from 3PM - 4PM EST

The guest host this week will be Echoing Green (@echoinggreen)!  Since 1987, Echoing Green has provided seed funding and support to more than 470 social entrepreneurs with bold ideas for social change in order to launch groundbreaking organizations around the world.

The realms of the nonprofit tech space and the social entrepreneurship sphere share a lot of overlap. I've had a number of conversations, though, with those who identify more with the former realm sort of at a loss when it comes to navigating the latter. "I've created this awesome widget or application or I have this great idea, but I'm not quite sure how to move forward with it," is a common concern that I hear voiced quite often. 

If I'm remembering this correctly, I first heard about Jonathan Gosier from Nathaniel Whittemore, the Social Entrepreneurship blogger at Change.org. Nathaniel and I have known each other forever and ever, and he's the kind of guy who really lets you know about someone when he thinks that someone is awesome, and when he does this, I pay attention.

Hi everyone!

I'm new on NetSquared and thought it might be a good idea to use this first post to introduce the work we're doing at UnLtdWorld around free, open and accessible data, hoping that many members of this community will find this of interest, especially those working on social entrepreneurship.

Hi everyone,

 My name is Andy Lieberman and I recently began working with Santa Clara University's Center for Science, Technology, and Society on the KnowledeX Project.  We are building a community of practice for social benefit entrepreneurs working to solve all kinds of problems, primarily in developing countries.

Prior to this job, I lived for a number of years in Guatemala and founded a non-profit that helps Mayans cross the digital divide without leaving their language and culture behind.

 I look forward to an exciting couple of days with all of you.
