Overview
More entrepreneurs and investors want to build businesses that generate profits while solving real problems—but most lack a comprehensive roadmap showing how all the pieces fit together. This book fills that gap.
Written by Laurie Lane-Zucker, who coined the term "impact entrepreneur" in 2011 and built a global network of 70,000+ members, this book provides practical frameworks for creating businesses that succeed financially while healing communities and restoring nature. It serves social entrepreneurs, impact investors, business consultants, educators, corporate sustainability leaders, and foundation officers—anyone working to prove that business can be a force for good. The book covers everything you need:
- How to design businesses with impact built into the business model
- Alternative ownership structures that protect your mission
- How to find and evaluate mission-aligned funding
- How to build markets that reward long-term value
- How to create company cultures that resist pressure to abandon your values
Each chapter includes unique and practical toolkits with frameworks you can use immediately.
This is an operational manual from someone who's done it—for people ready to build businesses where profit and purpose work together.
