You can find other "Market with Meaning" but you definitely want to see "Profit with Purpose".
I personally "Believe in Kingdom Transformation" because I know there is only ONE "Life for Significant". --- 2010年1月5日 星期二，Beyond Profit <adrienne.villani@intellecap.com> 寫道﹕

日期: 2010年1月5日,星期二,下午7:33 | |  | | | | | | In the Spirit of Partnership and Collaboration  Happy New Year from the Beyond Profit Team! We hope you had a wonderful holiday season.
This is a time to reflect on the year that has passed and to look forward to what will come, with an emphasis on bettering both your own life and the lives of others. Quite often, I find myself thinking about my favorite part of my job. The work is fascinating. The feeling of being in the right place at the right time is compelling. The intellect and creativity of my coworkers and those by whom I am surrounded in the social enterprise world is stimulating. But what is the most inspiring part? It has to be the spirit of partnership and collaboration within the sector. I think we all feel it. And I think that most of us agree on it. It is palpable. It is in the air.““ These individuals and organizations want to collaborate, not compete. They want to partner. They want to lend each other a helping hand. At Beyond Profit, we hear it all the time. "I am writing this email in the hopes of collaborating." "We'd love to partner with you because it seems that our goals are clearly aligned." "It is so great what you are doing, how can we work together going forward?" These words inspire our work on a daily basis. They make us want to do more. And they make us want to serve.““ | Sankalp Corner: Babajob  Babajob.com is a Bangalore-based start up that uses the Internet and mobile technology to connect employers and bottom-of-the-pyramid informal sector workers (i.e. maids, cooks, drivers, etc.). The goal: to create greater market efficiency in the informal sector through a scalable, replicable, and profitable solution. Babajob uses voice and web features such as SMS, automated voice systems, and operator-manned call centers to enable employers and job seekers to find each other. Established in August 2006, Babajob has largely focused on creating an inventory of job seekers through field marketing and delivering matching services to customers. More recently, it has developed content syndication with newspapers and increased its focus on job aggregation and creating partnerships with large telecom companies in the distribution of jobs.
