Join business leaders and social entrepreneurs at the Social Venture Institute (SVI) for an intensive, interactive inquiry into how to face the day-to-day challenges of running a socially conscious enterprise.

Social Venture Institute LogoTake advantage of this opportunity to fine tune business strategies, learn best practices for solving problems and build long-lasting relationships with business peers and mentors. Get direct feedback for your current business challenges from a faculty of successful socially responsible enterprise leaders. Hear inspiring “True Confessions”—personal stories from experienced entrepreneurs and their struggles to reach success combining social mission with business.

SVI gets you off the treadmill of your usual business life, while at the same time invigorating and enhancing your professional efforts. At SVI you’ll have a chance to:

  • Share innovative ideas to help improve the way you manage, promote and finance your businesses and projects;
  • Build a stronger sense of community, cooperation, mission and effectiveness; and
  • Strengthen your connection among mission-based entrepreneurs and non-profit ventures.

This program is for CEOs and leaders of established small businesses and nonprofit enterprises. Pre-approval is required prior to registration. Enrollment is limited and priority will be given to second-stage entrepreneurs.

We are excited to present two Social Venture Institutes in 2023 — SVI Women Virtual and SVI Hollyhock.
