Entrepreneurship in the hands of Millennials is not your father’s capitalism. As my mom continues to remind me with each new, lovingly botched introduction, explaining what a “social entrepreneur” is remains a challenge for even those who have been supporting this next generation of entrepreneurship for more than a decade now.
As the largest transfer of power and wealth in history proceeds in the coming decades, it is increasingly important for us to have a common understanding of what a more “social” form of entrepreneurship means for entrepreneurs, investors, and families alike. The intimate understanding of the triple bottom line we Millennials sometimes take for granted does not translate to most Americans.
