Columbia Business School Profiles

In 2006, as part of Columbia Business School’s MBA elective course on Social Entrepreneurship, students completed projects where they “shadowed” leading social entrepreneurs and social investors for a semester. Students and entrepreneurs spoke weekly about a set of key decisions entrepreneurs were facing and at the end of the term, evaluated lessons that could be drawn for other social entrepreneurs.

Below are the participating social entrepreneurs. Click on each to access brief profiles about them and the decisions they faced.
