If you're a purpose-minded social entrepreneur, you have just under a month to come up with your idea -- or rather, flesh it out. The process itself is also just as short as the program is grounded in being able to develop the phone or web app in just under a month. More specifically, the program is for those with an idea but perhaps lack the specific technical requirements to make it happen. Winners also receive digital market consulting and coaching. All applicants get resources on how to build the idea from scratch, specifically pertaining to social entrepreneurship. **Contact Information** Social Startups [website](http://www.socialstartu.ps/) Social Startups on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/startups.social) Social Startups on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/MySocialStartup) Social Startups on [LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/company/smart-giving) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Purpose-minded Social Entrepreneurship:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop technologies that empower purpose-minded social entrepreneurs to create positive social impact. - **Accelerated App Development:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create streamlined platforms that enable the rapid development of phone and web apps. - **Digital Market Consulting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Provide innovative digital market consulting services tailored to the needs of social startups. ### Who This Affects Most - **Social Entrepreneurship:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new business models and technologies to support the growth of purpose-driven social enterprises. - **App Development:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative tools and frameworks that simplify and expedite the process of app development. - **Digital Marketing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer advanced digital marketing solutions and strategies specifically designed for social startups. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Startup Networking Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/global-startup-ecosystem.md) - [Idea Generation Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycutesoft.md) - [Entrepreneurial Support Foundations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambition-accelerator.md) - [Foodtech Support Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodbytes.md) - [Idea-Testing Startup Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/startup-idea-tester.md) - [Startup Deal Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-deals.md) - [Early-Stage Startup Challenges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowflake-startup-challenge.md) - [Entrepreneur-Supporting Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doordash-accelerator.md) - [App Ideation Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appideahub.md)
