Business for Good is a national social enterprise business plan competition founded in 2009. Social enterprise is reshaping the nature of modern business, becoming increasingly important as new businesses incorporate social responsibility into their missions. The Business for Good Competition will reward impactful social enterprise ideas among college students. We seek to facilitate creativity, innovation, and collaboration among social entrepreneurs, increase the visibility of social entrepreneurship, and encourage college students to consider social entrepreneurship as they move into the working world.
The winners of the 2011 Business for Good Competition, Molly Yang (Harvard '13), Robert Bowden (Harvard '13) and Arjun Mody (Harvard '14), founded IdeaMash, a web utility that seeks to facilitate collaboration and innovation on university campuses. IdeaMash aims to make it easier for college students to find collaborators for start-ups, social enterprises, creative collaborations, and other endeavors. Learn more »
