Entrepreneurship

Reviewing 77 entries from around the country, judges representing a mix of venture capitalists, social venture investors and entrepreneurs determined the finalists in the first annual National Social Venture Competition. The competition, a partnership between Columbia Business School, the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Goldman Sachs Foundation, is unique in its requirement that all submissions include an emphasis on the social as well as financial bottom line.
