Social Enterprises & Financial Return: Moving Toronto’s Social Enterprise Revolution Forward

​Toronto’s social enterprise community is poised for considerable growth, as entrepreneurs look for new and sustainable ways to address the city’s growing roster of challenges. This growth equation involves bringing together investors, social activists and traditional entrepreneurs, creating new networks and connections to enable promising ideas to scale up. What are we doing right - and what do we need to work on? What are investors looking for in their pipelines? And what’s standing in the way of truly scaling Toronto’s social enterprise scene into a global success?
