Entrepreneurship

Description:

Social enterprises are formed to solve societal problems like hunger, illiteracy, poverty, and lack of access to health care. Funding models for these businesses differ radically from traditional entrepreneurial funding models. This course explores both established and new models of raising capital in the context of funding social entrepreneurship. Students will learn how to use loan guarantees, quasi-equity debt, pooling, and social impact bonds as well as grants, government subsidies, and donations from charities and individuals to fund their social impact startups. The course also will explore the challenges of quantifying social returns from so-called double bottom line investments. Prerequisites: Full Major or Minor status in Entrepreneurship OR Full Major status in Quantitative Analysis of Markets & Organizations Instructor Consent
