If you're as excited as SocialBusiness.org's editorial team, you are looking forward to seeing the change that Unreasonable Launchpad ventures will make. Each and every year, Unreasonable brings together mentors, entrepreneurs and funds to take on the globe and its social and environmental problems. But as always with social entrepreneurship, "problem" becomes opportunity and the ability to transform the market for good.
From fast-faced politics sites to education-enabling underwear, these Unreasonable Launchpad Ventures will join together for five weeks in Boulder, Colorado. Each of them will present their mission at Macky Auditorium in front of 1000 people. This is the future of social entrepreneurship in the making. We look forward to seeing more and best of luck to the participants!
