Follow on Google News | New Accelerator Supports Socially Conscious VenturesThe Social Venture Accelerator at the Rady School of Management at UC San Diego was recently launched to help social entrepreneurs launch their businesses.
The rise of social entrepreneurship inspired the Rady School of Management's newest business development hub – the Social Venture Accelerator. Inspired by a need to support socially-conscious business endeavors, Lada Rasochova and Kim Davis King worked to create the latest Rady School installment in support of entrepreneurial pursuits dedicated to making the world a better place. "Recognizing a need for a program geared toward developing and sustaining socially conscious businesses, the Rady School of Management launched the Social Venture Accelerator," The program consists of six sessions covering topics ranging from business model development to fundraising. The final session serves as a pitch presentation where participants will share the fruits of their labor with peers and potential investors. King — co-director of StartR and mystartupxx and an adjunct professor at the Rady School – shared the benefits of the program. "The workshops provide participants the opportunity to research, discuss and critically reflect upon the landscape and impact of social enterprises and non-for-profits," The Social Venture Accelerator is funded by the Center for Social Innovation and Impact – a center dedicated to inspire students and alumni to address the big issues and big challenges our society is facing. The development and launch of the accelerator is one of the actions that Rady is taking as part of our role in the broader Changemaker Campus plan at UC San Diego, which encourages the campus community to actively engage in serving the global community.
