On December 2, I look forward to visiting NYU Wagner for the Reynolds Program Speaker Series. In addition to fielding questions, I'm excited to talk about my own journey as a social entrepreneur and my reflections on the social entrepreneurship field -- which has really gained ground over the past decade.

 

My own organization, Endeavor, is a global nonprofit (headquartered a stone's throw away, in Union Square) that pioneered the concept of High-Impact Entrepreneurship in emerging markets. For 13 years, we've been selecting and supporting high-potential entrepreneurs who create jobs, generate wealth, and serve as role models.


If you'd like to learn more about what High-Impact Entrepreneurship is all about and how to get involved, I encourage you to check out our newly redesigned website and blog (http://www.endeavor.org) and stay in touch on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/endeavor_global) and Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/endeavorglobal).
