Social startups, social business - doing good with good business

Social business refers to companies whose goals are not solely focused on monetary profit, but primarily on social benefit. The issues can be diverse, ranging from poverty and discrimination among the elderly, gender inequality, child education and adult education, food waste, and the resolution of environmental problems and ecological conflicts, among many others. The core idea is to find sustainable solutions to social or environmental problems through innovative and entrepreneurial approaches. This requires new perspectives on entrepreneurship and business models.

In this seminar, participants will work with founder coach Steve Grundig to address the following questions:

- What are social entrepreneurship and social business? How do they differ from traditional business models?

- What opportunities and challenges does the concept of social entrepreneurship entail?

- How can a social enterprise (social startup) be founded and implemented in practice?

The goals of the seminar are to introduce participants to the topic, engage them in discussion and exchange, and encourage them to pursue their own social business ideas.

The instructor draws on knowledge and experience gained, among other things, from founding his own business, providing startup support to numerous social startups, and his involvement with the SEND e.V. Saxony Regional Group (Social Entrepreneurship Network Germany e.V.).
