On behalf of the University of Washington Global Business Center at the Foster School of Business, Call for Applications to the 7th annual Global Social Entrepreneurship Competition (GSEC).
The 2011 GSEC application deadline is November 04, 2010.
GSEC is an international social business plan competition open to students across disciplines around the world.
GSEC 2011 will be held in Seattle February 14-18, and will build on the success of last year: 2010 GSEC teams participated in tailored company visits, pitched their business to over 600 professionals, and competed for $30,000 in prize money and in-kind awards. To celebrate the 2010 GSEC teams’ success, we welcomed Bill Gates Sr. as the banquet keynote speaker.

Brown bag lunch with the International Development Working Group: Jacaranda Health
Where: The Berkeley HUB
When: Tuesday, Feb 9th at 12PM
Nick Pearson (Haas '08) worked at the Acumen Fund investing in social ventures in East Africa, and is now launching Jacaranda Health, a social venture to provide maternity services and emergency obstetric care for low-income women in Kenya. Nick will talk about the process and challenges of starting up a social enterprise in Africa, and discuss with the group some of the issues that early stage social ventures face from the perspective of both investors and entrepreneurs -- finding funding, selecting a legal structure, building partnerships, getting pro-bono help, etc.
If you’ve already created your submission for GSVC, we highly encourage you to enter your idea into the UC Berkeley Business Plan Competition as well! Just modify your entry to no longer than 3 pages, but you may format it any way you would like (i.e. Single-spaced, Powerpoint slides, PDFs, etc). Many winners in previous year entered both competitions, and we hope you’ll submit your social venture idea to the Business Plan Competition this year.
The only requirement is that at least one teammember must be affiliated with Cal (alum, faculty or student).
The Executive Summary re. 'The Berkeley Incubator Business-Center'* Bank, Berkeley Branch is now again complete = I avail myself to work with any and all students who wish to bring this summary into the required protocol for the competion-processes.
