*Quotes from past Social Entrepreneurship Bootcampers*
·
“Best experience I had at INSEAD so far (learning
wise). Thank you so much. While before I only thought that this could be an
option for the future, I am really inspired to do something asap.
·
“Very inspiring, motivating and well-structured. The
bootcamp has now taught me how to start up my own social enterprise and I am
thankful for that!”
·
"I went into the weekend completely blank, but got so enthusiastic
about most of the ideas that I lost track of time every time we were working on
our project. How cool is that! :) I liked all the examples of actual
initiatives that were given to clarify a task or to just show us what is out
there... The atmosphere in the group is set to be very stimulating and open so
that everyone feels comfortable to share their more personal thoughts and
ideas - this is great! - A perfect balance between entrepreneurship &
social impact in one weekend."
Summary: Learn how to create a
meaningful social impact venture. Identify the problem, define your theory of
change, construct your business model, and measure your impact. During the
bootcamp you will go through an intense and tailored 48-hour methodology for designing
a novel solution that addresses a neglected societal problem. We will start on
Friday at 8:00pm and by Sunday 5:00pm you will be presenting your social
innovation to a judging panel of social impact experts and investors. It
promises to be a challenging and exciting weekend.
All your meals during this period are taken care of – from dinner on Friday
at 8:00pm to an afternoon coffee break on Sunday. We start with breakfast at
8:30am on both Saturday and Sunday. We will finish most likely by 9:30pm on
Saturday (though you are welcome to stay and continue working) and finish the
bootcamp by 7.30pm on Sunday.
You can have a team formed already or come individually. You can bring a
problem that you want to address or come with a clear mind and be open to focus
on problems proposed by other participants. We will use the Friday evening to
do a brainstorm of societal problems and form teams of two to four participants
who will work together for the rest of the bootcamp in coming up with an
effective solution. Please note that societal problems also include
inefficiencies that lend themselves to new financial innovations for social
impact as well as new government or social sector initiatives. A goal of the
bootcamp is to form bonds and connections that last during INSEAD and beyond,
aligned by a goal of achieving social impact in a meaningful career.
We hope that you will have a great experience of learning and inspiration
during the weekend and that you will develop a high potential project that you
can move forward during your INSEAD degree and turn it into a valuable social
innovation.
