Applications for the SOCAP Entrepreneur Program Close Soon!
We are currently working on two of our large annual initiatives to help us create pathways for our community to hear about you and your network’s work, expertise, and vision for a better future for people and the planet. This includes the SOCAP Entrepreneur Program (find all the details here and submit your applications soon — applications are open through Feb. 17!). In the words of former cohort member Patricia Lopez of NotesFirst:
"The Entrepreneur Program at SOCAP provided a very meaningful and intimate way for me to connect with social impact entrepreneurs around the world and learn their challenges and best practices. I have made lifelong connections at SOCAP because of this program and highly recommend other entrepreneurs apply."
We will also begin the SOCAP Open submission period next week — stay tuned for more details!
SOCAP exists because we’re better together. In addition to our programs described above, we’re offering a special sale on SOCAP23 tickets this week: Purchase two or more tickets by Friday, and you’ll save $400 or more. We hope to see you in October!
