Redemptive Social Entrepreneurs integrate redemptive practices with market-based solutions and the aims of the social sector to address societal issues. The Redemptive Social Enterprise Lab is designed to address key your business and social impact challenges while deepening participants' redemptive imagination. The Lab provides an intensive 3-day of in-person workshops and learning followed by 3 months of ongoing mentorship, ensuring participants have the support needed to build ventures that create lasting, redemptive impact.

The Lab Experience

Our time together will focus on expanding your imagination and equipping you to accelerate your practice of redemptive social entrepreneurship. We’ll dive into three essential dimensions— Personal Impact (leading well), Business Impact (sustainability), and Social Impact (design for outcomes). A truly redemptive social venture integrates all three, ensuring they work together to create lasting impact.

The Lab experience is uniquely tailored to support your journey as a social entrepreneur. Through deep connections with peers, our mentors and our collaboration and investor partners, you'll engage in an intensive, transformative experience designed to meet your specific business needs. 

A Two-Part Journey

PART I of our Redemptive Social Enterprise Lab is an immersive experience designed for pre-launch and early-stage founders and entrepreneurs of for-profit businesses and social enterprises. This program is for those who seek to deepen their leadership, refine their vision, and build sustainable, impact-driven ventures.

Beyond the in-person gathering, PART II extends your growth through three months of regular mentoring sessions, ensuring ongoing support as you put your vision into action.

The gathering will be dynamic, fast-paced, and fully immersive. You'll walk away with fresh ideas, practical tools, valuable new relationships, and insights from peers, mentors, and our collaboration and investor partners. Before you leave, we’ll provide dedicated time to synthesize your learnings and create actionable next steps to implement when you return home.

“I came in trying to think about leading just ethically well but I’m thinking beyond that now”
