Social Venture Capital Clinic

Last month, I returned from USASBE where the Social Venture Clinic, a day-long exposure to raising funds through hands-on workshops was chosen as the finalist in the 3E Learning Competition. What is 3E Learning? This is a community of entrepreneurship educators that share class exercises, games, projects, and experiments that instructors create to enhance teaching in entrepreneurship. The 3E-Learning.org site disseminates these entrepreneurial experiential exercises to other instructors.

In the spirit of sharing, here are the workshops that we are holding tomorrow.

We have invited Candance Klein, founder of Bad Girl Ventures/SoMoLend and David Egner of the New Economy Initiative, as well experts from the region that will talk about using social media to fundraise, grant writing. We also welcome a Wooster alum Sally Feree ’83 who will work closely with students to enhance their venture funding plans.
