Social Entrepreneur API expands to include Global Social Benefit Incubator Alumni

I’m thrilled to share this update on one of my favorite projects: the Social Entrepreneur API, a powerful new resource for finding and supporting vetted social entrepreneurs.

Global Social Benefit Incubator™ Alumni will soon be featured in the Social Entrepreneur API alongside social entrepreneurs who have received fellowship and awards from Civic Ventures, the Draper Richards Foundation, PopTech, the Schwab Foundation, and the Skoll Foundation.

The Global Social Benefit Incubator (GSBI™) is the signature program of Santa Clara University's Center for Science, Technology and Society (CSTS). It works with social entrepreneurs to empower them and their organizations and to overcome barriers to scale and impact. Since 2003, 101 award-winning social enterprises have attended this program and become part of a growing network of path finding alumni for creating a more just and sustainable world.

Click here for more information about GSBI™ -- including an opportunity to apply for this year’s program (hurry, applications are due this Friday!) – and we’ll share more updates on their participation in the Social Entrepreneur API as that process continues.
