Social entrepreneurs have increasingly adopted earned revenue models to support their long-term sustainability goals. While approaches are diverse, many begin with small-scale ventures using project grants to implement. Even with initial success, scaling of these revenue producing ventures is often hampered by a lack of working capital or commercial financing for necessary capital equipment. While the challenges are many, experienced entrepreneurs, funders and bankers are learning to navigate this frontier and pave the way for successful scaling. Join us to contribute to this vital and ever-evolving conversation.
