Impact Entrepreneur as defined for our network is a social entrepreneur 2.0. It's an entrepreneur who's not only interested in creating companies that do good in the world, environmentally, socially, but understands that
This type of company really needs to have a supportive ecosystem, legal, financial and otherwise, around it to support it. And so my network, Impact Entrepreneur, is filled with entrepreneurs.
