Abstract

This book introduces a market approach that social enterprises can use to scale their impact. We show examples of how social entrepreneurs have successfully scaled the impact of their organizations by exchanging impact for resources. In this approach, social entrepreneurs connect buyers (such as impact investors) and sellers (such as social enterprises) in order to negotiate positive social and environmental impacts in exchange for resources.
