The Global Social Venture Competition is a business plan competition aimed at MBA students who have the ultimate social enterprise idea. And now the winners for 2007 are in:
Haas Business school of the UC Berkeley - good to see you there, guys - won with "Revolution Foods", a company providing healthy school food in California. But I am also happy to see the Bangkokian Thammasat students finishing second with "Verdacure" - they have worked out a cross-subsidised business that provides dental care to rural villagers and rather affluent city dwellers. Congratulations!
(Disclaimer: There have been three 2nd places, apart from Thammasat also teams from Stanford and Babson College came in second. And their ideas are good. I am just a little bit biased towards teams from a university I attended and the city I currently live in. Hip-hip-hooray. Sorry.)
