Make money, help others, make the world a better place. Sounds easy, but starting a successful socially responsible business venture is no simple matter...especially in this economy. That is why the Center for Sustainable Enterprise at UNC's Kenan-Flagler Business School offers BASE (Business Accelerator for Sustainable Entrepreneurship).


On Jan. 28, twenty-one sustainable entrepreneurs began a 12-month journey to grow their "triple-bottom-line" businesses. Through workshops members learn from investors, entrepreneurs and other experts in the field how to prepare their businesses for investment and how to strengthen their business models.


So what have they learned thus far? Check out this wrap-up article on their recent "Getting Ready for Capital" workshop:
