Participants in the impact ecosystem — accelerators, investors, corporates, higher education, and other interested parties — all strive to support impact entrepreneurs according to their own unique strategies. Unfortunately, these collective efforts can be mystifying and even counterproductive for the very entrepreneurs we seek to support.
A better approach entails working together to evolve an ecosystem that offers a seamless continuum of technical support, networks, and capital to accompany entrepreneurs throughout their journeys. Collective solutions must overcome the capital mismatch between supply and demand, ensure diversity and inclusion in the enterprises we support, prioritize impact measurement and management, and bridge partnerships with corporations and universities.
In this program, Impact Entrepreneur’s Laurie Lane-Zucker welcomes social impact pioneer and global development leader Brigit Helms of Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship for an in-depth conversation about what works and what doesn’t when it comes to centering impact entrepreneurs. Spoiler alert: It’s about connecting the dots rather than strengthening silos.
Brigit Helms is Executive Director of Miller Center for Global Impact at Santa Clara University, a leader in accelerating social entrepreneurship to end global poverty. She has spent over 30 years addressing social and environmental challenges across 55 countries, with leadership roles at DAI, IDB Lab, McKinsey & Company, and the World Bank Group. She is the author of Access for All: Building Inclusive Economic Systems and serves on the boards of the AlphaMundi Foundation and BRAC USA.
