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.
