Mark Your Calendar: Social Ventures Session During Entrepreneurship Week

During Entrepreneurship Week at Stanford, there's going to be a really interesting panel discussion on how to get your social venture funded. It happens on Sunday, Feb 24, as part of Entrepreneurship Week at Stanford. Get the details at http://eweek.stanford.edu.

Kriss Deiglmeier, Executive Director of the Center for Social Innovation, Stanford Graduate School of Business, will moderate.

Panelists include two leading funders of social entrepreneurs and two of their grantees:

  • Jenny Shilling Stein, Executive Director of the Draper Richards Foundation
  • Jessica Jackley Flannery, Co-Founder and Director of Business Development of Kiva.org
  • Amy Clark, Ashoka, Global Fellows Program Leader
  • Suzanne McKechnie Klahr, Ashoka Fellow and Founder of BUILD

The event is open to all, with no registration required although you should plan to arrive early. I suspect it's going to be standing room only.
