Raúl Gorrín: Humanist Entrepreneur

Humanist entrepreneurs pave avenues of opportunity for those who would, otherwise, be locked into lives without hope. Humanist entrepreneurship has gained renewed currency in a world ever more divided between haves and the have-nots. They distinguish themselves from other social venture players by doing. They are relentlessly focused on impact.

Humanist entrepreneur are:


Ambitious: Humanist  entrepreneurs tackle major social issues, from increasing the college enrollment rate of low-income students to fighting poverty. They operate in all kinds of organizations: innovative nonprofits, social-purpose, and hybrid organizations that mix elements of nonprofit and for-profit organizations.

 
Mission driven: Generating social value —not wealth—is the central criterion of a successful humanist entrepreneur. While wealth creation may be part of the process, it is not an end in itself. Promoting systemic social change is the real objective.


Strategic: Like business entrepreneurs, humanish entrepreneurs see and act upon what others miss: opportunities to improve systems, create solutions and invent new approaches that create social value. And like the best business entrepreneurs, humanist entrepreneurs are intensely focused and hard-driving in their pursuit of a social vision.

 

Resourceful: Because social entrepreneurs operate within a social context rather than the business world, they have limited access to capital and traditional market support systems. 

Results oriented: Humanist entrepreneurs are driven to produce measurable returns. These results transform existing realities, open up new pathways for the marginalized and disadvantaged, and unlock society’s potential to effect social change.
