The Long Game of Systems Change
How three Skoll Awardees build public systems for lasting impact
Impact Entrepreneur, LLC, based in Sheffield, Massachusetts, has launched Impact Entrepreneur Magazine, an online media source and collaborative platform for its global membership and others interested in building impactful businesses and an overall economy anchored to sustainability principles and goals.
Located at the domain www.impactentrepreneur.com, the new media platform is launched on the company’s tenth anniversary and is intended to amplify and empower a global movement of entrepreneurs, investors, scholars, and students who are using business as a proactive force for social and environmental change.
“Ten years ago, the ‘impact entrepreneur’ was born,” commented Laurie Lane-Zucker, Impact Entrepreneur’s Founder & CEO. “And there are now thousands of entrepreneurs around the world using the term to describe the transformative work that they are doing in the world to build a sustainable and equitable economy. Today’s launch of our new online magazine and collaborative platform represents the culmination of ten years of preparation and a ten-month site build. It has been designed to support impact entrepreneurs, funders, and ecosystem builders, and to introduce this potent movement to everyone concerned about the serious social and environmental challenges facing individual communities and nations, and global humanity.”
Anchored to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 16 related issue areas (i.e., Impact Measurement & Management, Gender Lens, Racial Equity and Justice, and Circular Economy), Impact Entrepreneur Magazine’s launch content features articles and multimedia content featuring dozens of the leading lights in impact, sharing their cutting-edge thinking, best practices, and inspiring profiles of impact enterprises in every region of the world. Contributors include Jed Emerson, Amit Bouri, Cathy Clark, Jeffrey Hollender, Durreen Shahnaz, Clara Miller, John Sherman, Melanie Audette, Jane Reisman, William Burckart, Deborah Frieze, Paul Holthus, Fabienne Michaux, Gillian Marcelle, Laura Callanan, Robert Rubinstein, Brigit Helms, among many other luminaries.
The new platform launches with over 40 respected, field-building organizations acting as Content Partners, including the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), American Sustainable Business Council (ASBC), Social Venture Circle (SVC), Impact Investment Exchange — Asia (IIX), Sattva (India), Duke University’s Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship (CASE), Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (ANDE), Water.org, Sorenson Impact Center at the University of Utah, Upstart Co-Lab, Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship at Santa Clara University, among others.
