Meet the Leaders of Visionary Social Ventures—and Learn How to Support Them

We support social entrepreneurs who are making vital change around the world, with an approach that centers the needs and missions of those doing the work. With this goal in mind, the Solutions Insights Lab interviewed dozens of venture leaders to distill what’s working in the support they receive—and what’s missing.

Each interview seeks to surface the following elements:

Response

Focuses on a response to a social problem—and on how that response has worked, or why it hasn’t
A person has an insight

Insight

Shows what can be learned from a response and why it matters
A person shares evidence

Evidence

Provides data or qualitative results that indicate effectiveness (or lack thereof)
A person speaks about limitations

Limitations

Places responses in context; doesn’t shy away from revealing shortcomings
