An Incubator-Fellowship program to Recruit, Train, and Manage MBA Fellows
\nTo help Outstanding Social Ventures reach Scale and Sustainability<\/p>\n
Social ventures, both not-for-profit and for-profit, require top talent to create the social and
\nenvironmental value they aspire to create. Luckily, many talented people, from Millennials to
\nseasoned professionals, are seeking personal fulfillment as well as opportunities to heal the world.
\nThey recognize that applying their abilities and resources to support social ventures is a perfect
\nway to achieve both goals. However, a critical gap prevents the engagement of this talent: most
\nsocial ventures lack the financial and human resources to find and optimize the talent they need.<\/p>\n
Inspiring Capital\u2019s (IC) Inspire Impact program fills this gap by:
\n\u2022 Recruiting, training, managing, and mentoring MBA fellows,
\n\u2022 Harnessing complementary talent (of diverse ages and backgrounds), and
\n\u2022 Supporting social ventures to define, launch, and manage revenue-generating projects.<\/p>\n
