Fw: SVN Invites You to the Unreasonable Institute


my buzz & my blog

"When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world." George Washington Carver

What is Social Entrepreneurship?

Statement of Faith
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".

SVN and UI
SVN is proud to announce a new pipeline partnership with the Unreasonable Institute, connecting SVN's network of responsible business leaders and the founders of the sustainable business movement with young social venture entrepreneurs from all over the globe who are just starting their bold ventures.

The Unreasonable Institute is now seeking applications from early-stage ventures for its 2011 Institute. See eligibility requirements here and apply here. The application deadline is December 15.

The Unreasonable Institute is a mentor-intensive acceleration program for early-stage entrepreneurs from around the world tackling social and environmental problems. Each year, the Institute unites 25 entrepreneurs from every corner of the globe to live under the same roof for a summer. These entrepreneurs receive training from 60 world-class mentors, form relationships with 30 investment funds, receive legal advice & design consulting, and pitch to hundreds of investors and partners in two U.S. cities. The goal is to enable these ventures to sustain themselves financially and to measurably improve the lives of at least one million people.

If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to contact Teju Ravilochan, Unreasonable Institute's Co-Founder & VP Partnerships & Communication. Call Teju at 303-589-2144, Skype at tejuravi, email at teju@unreasonableinstitute.org.

The 2010 Unreasonable Institute was a great success. 22 entrepreneurs launched ventures in 15 countries. The Fellows included a Nigerian Ashoka Fellow broadcasting market and agricultural information to over 250,000 farmers, a Venezuelan scientist developing a handheld DNA diagnostic device capable of detecting infectious diseases for a few dollars per test, and an Echoing Green Fellow converting agricultural waste into fertile topsoil and clean-burning fuel through a carbon negative process.


In just 3 months, 60% of Unreasonable Fellows seeking it have received funding. 9 out of 15 Fellows seeking funding received investment in the three months since the Institute has ended. Click here to see the final presentations from the Fellows before an audience of 100 investors.
