Description

Do you want to solve important social issues, but not sure how this is possible?

The world is full of problems, from climate change to food insecurity, it's only natural to seek solutions to these problems. One option for you is to build a social venture to solve a social such an issue in a financially sustainable approach.


Do you already have an idea for a social impact venture, but aren’t sure what to do next?

Already have an idea on what your new venture will be, that's great! it's now time to design all of the key elements such as your value proposition, stakeholder relations and competitive barriers that are needed to bring you from an idea to an executable plan.


Do you have an initial plan or model, but feel that it could be better?

It's a major milestone to map out your idea, the tasks you need to accomplish, and the strategy you will take moving forward. However it's normal to lack the confidence to 'take a leap of faith' needed to launch. Join our course to strength your plan in a holistic approach and grow the confidence need to take action.


In this course we will work towards these outcomes:

  1. A holistic social venture business model and plan of action for your social venture.

  2. A strategic set of plans to address critical risks and unintended consequences.

  3. Clarity on how you and your team can best plan your venture’s future while being true to your personal values and goals.


To get there we have broken the course into 11 modules - Each module covers a core concept, examples and related questions you will need to reflect upon and answer to effectively design your social venture and the strategic approach you will take.


Expand your community - An additional benefit to studying here on Udemy is that you will be able to connect with likeminded peers from across the globe (potential team mates in the future) and share feedback on each other's social venture designs.


Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge and tools to build solutions to the problems we all face. I look forward to you joining me to discover how to successfully design your social venture and witnessing your impact grow.

  • Aspiring entrepreneurs working on initial plans for their Impact Venture.
