About GSVC
The Global Social Venture Competition (GSVC) is one of the oldest social venture competitions, and has the largest global reach. Fouded at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business in 1999, GSVC has evolved into a global network of premier business schools, universities, and programs in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe.
How it Works
Teams must include at least one student or recent student alum and will learn how to design business models through the “lean launch” process that emphasizes stakeholder discovery, innovation, and social impact measurement. Participants receive exposure, mentorship and access to a variety of education opportunities. Top finalists participate in a Global Finals event that convenes successful social entrepreneurs and thought leaders for a weekend event that culminates in the awarding of over $80,000 in prizes. Judges, mentors, and sponsors shape the global social entrepreneurship community and help transform ideas into ventures that address the world’s most pressing challenges.
