Stanford has great resources for social entrepreneurs.  Among their many resources includes the Entrepreneurship Corner (ecorner), a compilation of speakers who share their wealth of knowledge.  Here’s a taste…

Visionary entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and reformist Vinod Khosla (co-founder of Sun Microsystems) presents his definition of social entrepreneurship at Stanford University.  Think donations can solve the worlds problems?  Think again. 

Randy Komisar, a prolific venture capitalist and entrepreneur discusses the next wave of capitalism, social entrepreneurship.

    Wow, it’s amazing to hear of people making a difference through social entre. Interestingly, through technology and innovation (as the videos mentioned), the difference we can make in communities, such as India, Guyana, Africa, and all around the world is tremendous. I think creativity is the source for so much of this – really “thinking outside of the box.” When we do that, the possibilities & capabilities are endless. Some researchers say that average humans only use 10% of their brain potential – imagine what we could do if we maximized the other 90%. Amazing!

    Hi Noel,

    Thanks for the comment:) We couldn’t agree with you more. Indeed, what would happen if we fully summoned our intellectual potential towards solving ‘real’ problems??
    The possibilities are endless.
