Social Enterprise Development

Corporations and investors alike are beginning to realize that caring about issues pertaining to the environment, social accountability and fair governance are not only good for the world and its inhabitants, but good for the bottom line. 

Through our innovative partnership with RevHubOC, the LCL will serve in the outreach, engagement, exploration and ideation stages of social enterprise development.  Faculty, by and large, are not trained to think about how their ideas and research might be scaled and monetized in such a way that serves the greater good. Together, the LCL and RevHubOC offer the opportunity for researchers to translate their discoveries into life-changing social businesses, impacting issues from homelessness to climate change, while creating fulfilling jobs in the social sector and regional economic development.
