Today I joined demo day of the Post-Growth Entrepreneurship Incubator. It is always interesting to learn about alternative business models for startups, and it was great to see the wide diversity in terms of products, regions and founders!

#SocEnt #SocialTech4EU

#Introduction I study #hybrid #organizations and hybrid #governance arrangements, such as #SocialEnterprises and other forms of #SocialInnovation at the border area between state, market and community. I do this at the Department of #PublicAdministration and Sociology of #ErasmusUniversity #Rotterdam

I combine insights from the fields of #PublicPolicy and #PublicManagement and aim to bridge the divide between theory and practice.

See www.hybridorganizations.com for more.

We've signed up to the Diversity Forum's manifesto for #SocialInvestment - ensuring that when we invest in #SocialEnterprises and trading #Charities that we ensure resources get to the people who are more likely to experience marginalisation

It's that time of the year when gift buying is top of the list.
So, here's a #GiftGuide that is a little different.
Social Enterprise UK's Gift Guide for 2022 lists all the fantastic and fabulous #SocialEnterprises that you can buy from.
Remember, when you buy from a #SocialEnterprise, you are also helping bring about positive change.

@freeschool For me, models like #PlatformCooperatives (eg meet.coop) and #SocialEnterprises (eg @snikket_im ), are a way of hacking "business" to serve our needs for economic sustainability in the short-medium term. In the long term, I believe we need to develop a #SolidarityEconomy that can replace extractive capitalism. But those models, as well as helping to sustain our work in the short term, can be part of organizing towards that longer term goal. (5/5)

What about having other sustainable revenue models? Platform cooperatives, social enterprises etc. Maybe web 1.0 got corporatized because donation-based services run by unpaid hobbyists can't keep up with platforms using VC money to pay fulltime salaries to staff?
