Module 3 – Designing Business Models for Social Impact
IN THIS LESSON
Creating meaningful impact is at the heart of social entrepreneurship, but sustaining that impact requires founders to think carefully about how they build their ventures.
In this Expert Interview, Lyubomyr (Lubko) Matsekh-Ukrayinskyy draws on his experience as both a founder and mentor to social entrepreneurs. He reflects on what distinguishes founders who are able to combine impact with sustainability, as well as some of the blind spots he commonly sees among impact-driven entrepreneurs in the early stages of their journey.
As you watch, consider:
What would it mean for your venture to achieve both impact and long-term sustainability?
What strengths could help you build a sustainable venture?
What blind spots might you need other people to help you recognise?
Where might you need to challenge your own assumptions as your venture develops?
