Shift.ed • Impact Venture Series
Event description
We know you give a Shift.
You've dedicated time, energy and money to a purpose that's worth your investment. You're willing to work hard for it, and you're committed to making a difference. And just like any business, you're driven by goals and success.
Whether you're the founder of a social enterprise, work within an NFP or you're just an aspiring Good Samaritan, those goals are likely to be different to other businesses. After all you're motivated by a cause, which means your bottom line isn't the money you make but the impact you make.
Shift.ed's purpose is to equip the people behind SA's social enterprises with the skills, tools, networks and strategies that will help them do good business, while doing good.
The Shift.ed Impact Venture Series
Each monthly masterclass will focus on an aspect of business, geared toward social enterprise. The sessions will incorporate guest speakers, networking and skill sharing into one toolkit you can apply to your venture or workplace.
