WHAT IS A SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR?

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

George Bernard Shaw

At Social Entrepreneurs Ireland we believe that new and innovative solutions exist to the myriad social and environmental challenges we face today. We believe that these solutions will be most effective when driven by 'unreasonable people'; individuals who are not prepared to accept the status quo and who adopt a highly entrepreneurial approach to igniting social change.

Our aim is to identify, invest in, and support these social entrepreneurs and the organisations they launch.
