Social Impact Crash Course brings a series of 5 'upskilling' sessions designed for aspiring entrepreneurs, consultants and investors who want to better understand the unique practical and theoretical drivers of socially oriented firms (large/ early stage, for-profit/ not-for-profit). We have carefully curated guest speakers to reflect the best and most interesting facets of the session topics.
