Nick will talk  about the process and challenges of starting up a social enterprise in Africa, and discuss with the group some of the issues that early stage social ventures face from the perspective of both investors and entrepreneurs -- finding funding, selecting a legal structure, building partnerships, getting pro-bono help, etc.

  If you’ve already created your submission for GSVC, we highly encourage you to enter your idea into the UC Berkeley Business Plan Competition as well! Just modify your entry to no longer than 3 pages, but you may format it any way you would like (i.e. Single-spaced, Powerpoint slides, PDFs, etc). Many winners in previous year entered both competitions, and we hope you’ll submit your social venture idea to the Business Plan Competition this year.
  
  
  The only requirement is that at least one teammember must be affiliated with Cal (alum, faculty or student).
