GSVC Vision
We envision a world in which every business values, generates, and accounts for social impact.
GSVC Mission
The purpose of GSVC is to actively support and promote the creation and growth of successful social ventures around the world. We define a social venture as an enterprise that has both financial and social goals integral to its purpose. We strive to elevate the visibility of the field and the quality and quantity of new ventures through our annual business plan competition. Each year our competition rewards a number of social ventures that are most likely to succeed in accomplishing their financial and social missions.
We also work to educate and increase the pool of leaders who can start and grow social ventures. We do this through a dedicated relationship to business schools and to MBA students throughout the world. We will also educate a wider audience of faculty, investors, entrepreneurs, and the broader business community on the value of socially responsible business models as well as the viability of such models. By reaching the students, investors and entrepreneurs of today we hope to create a new generation of future business leaders, one that values both the profit and social potential of business.
