This workshop will examine how such technologies as SMS Frontline, social stock exchanges, Ushahidi, mashups, and crowdsourcing mobile apps can be used to support social impact investing. Students will learn how to deploy these technologies in under-resourced settings. The final project will engage teams in developing an original solution strategy that uses one or more of these technologies to support a social enterprise incubator, social venture capital group, or social enterprise. Students will develop proficiency with the new technologies through a combination of lectures, guided readings, team-based problem-solving simulations, case studies, and hands-on practice.
