Powering Social Change

SERI provides a platform to facilitate the flow of human, financial and intellectual capital to social enterprise.

Human/Social Capital

The SERI community is an engaged group of leaders who believe in the power of collaboration and innovation for promoting positive social change. SERI facilitates human capital provision to social enterprises through its partnership brokering and through SVPRI engagements.

Financial Capital

SERI disseminates information and creates linkages to facilitate an increased flow of financial resources to social enterprise. SVPRI provides resources to social enterprise through its Social Venture Capital Fund, its loan fund, SVP University and its co-investing initiative. 

Intellectual Capital

SERI develops, aggregates and disseminates intellectual capital in the social enterprise space. We host an on-line social enterprise resource library which features case studies, academic and practitioner articles and other recommended readings. We also host a social enterprise blog.
