You might have the fix to end world hunger, but if you haven't figured out how to pay your bills, no one will ever hear about it. 

• How do you build a business model that is able to achieve the trifecta of global social impact, financial viability, and growth?  
   
• What are the key strategies to advance societal benefit and generate income from business activities? 
   
• How do socially-driven enterprises access capital, manage investor expectations, and make tough budget choices while keeping firmly “on mission”?
