Mission-Aligned Social Entreprenuership
Jessie Gould
Featuring Jessie Gould, founder of Ox Verte; Alex Husted, founder of HELPSY; and Peter Neiman, executive vice president, chief marketing officer at Amalgamated Bank, this panel explored using business as a force for good and how ventures are using capital to scale their societal impact.

Philanthropy and Charity
Dan Pallotta
Activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta calls out the double standard that drives our broken relationship to charities. Too many nonprofits, he says, are rewarded for how little they spend -- not for what they get done. Instead of equating frugality with morality, he asks us to start rewarding charities for their big goals and big accomplishments (even if that comes with big expenses). In this bold talk, he says: Let's change the way we think about changing the world. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.

The Founding Father of Social Entrepreneurship Speaks
Bill Drayton, founder and CEO of Ashoka
Bill Drayton, founder and CEO of Ashoka, literally coined the term “social entrepreneur” when he founded the nonprofit back in 1980, almost 40 years ago. He also decided that changemaker was one word and not two, something the Oxford dictionary now recognizes (though Webster’s does not, to the Drayton’s consternation). Drayton says, “We all sense that society is at a profound, indeed historic turning point.” Before we explore the turning point, he’s talking about, let’s briefly review some of the history of Ashoka and social entrepreneurship. The kernel of the idea for Ashoka came to Drayton, he says, when he was visiting India at age 18. On this journey, he began to appreciate that an entrepreneur could make systemic changes that could have profound implications in the lives of large numbers of people. He also began to appreciate how difficult it is to make that leap at almost any point in one’s life. Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/34g2l03.
