Course # 33611 Section Number 1 Day(s) M Time(s) 3:00pm-5:50pm Term Winter 2026 Instructor Will Gossin Syllabus Syllabus 12/10/24 This course aims to give students a comprehensive overview of the social entrepreneurship ecosystem and how they will contribute to it across their careers. Rather than focus purely on new venture creation, this course will give students experience in the three main roles within the ecosystem. Students will learn the roles of: Impact Investors/Foundations, Product Managers, and Social Entrepreneurs. As we explore each role in the ecosystem, students will learn the perspectives, mindsets, and tools that practitioners use to advance their declared impact. By the end of the course, students will have produced real-life deliverables for all three roles, be more confident in their future career choices, and understand how the mindsets, incentives, and values of each role constrain and influence the others. Notes Registered students who do not attend during week 1 of class will forfeit their seat and be withdrawn.
