I was privileged to benefit from Innoweave's scaling workshop and coaching... strongly encouraged.

check out our book the Giveback Economy-start and grow a social enterprise; also our podcasts with the same name-interviews with social innovators and social enterprises-connect with me at peter@communityinnovationhub.org

Can we do both product and services

Yes, thank you

Excellent

regulations exist related to registered charities offering social enterprise services-need information on legal structures as that would be most helpful

Employment based example The RawCarrot

Josh - what Type is Innoweave?

Building on Elizabeth's question can a registered CRA# charity own a for-profit SE?

yes but having consulted a lawyer there are significant issues to be aware of--e.g. the size of the social enterprise versus charities revenues and the relationship as I understand it to the charities mission- I thought it must be related?????

Josh - what Type is Innoweave?

so are you a registered business - separate from MCC

thank you

Suggest that as the social enterprise grows the mix of funding sources will evolve--start with incubation grants with minimal revenues from sales, then try an accelerator grant to move forward to self-sufficiency to profit making

Aim for social and financial viability

that is called r&d=rob and duplicate

start with a 1 page business plan-see bplans.com

define problem not symptoms who and how many impacted, assess solutions, validate that someone will buy enough to be viable

i have used this approach, modified by the Akina Foundation, to get a whole picture of a project idea quickly and begin iterating on the idea to get up and running faster, https://lifehackhq.co/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Social-Lean-Canvas-Fellowship-2017.pptx

organization should include up to 3 volunteer advisory boards of 5 members each with benefits for both

another resource mplans.com
