Sam Rye I've been away from Brazen for awhile, but it's been because I've been attending conferences and doing a lot of research into Social Enterprise/Innovation. I'm inspired frankly - and interested to know what you've all been up to - whether it be working / researching / just noticing Social Ent/Innov in your communities. Can you give me examples? I recently heard Tonya Surman from Centre for Social Innovation (Toronto) give a keynote - absolutely wonderful: socialinnovation.ca

Almost half-way done and an incredible experience so far.

Sam- thanks for the great link to check out. I'm from Toronto and interested in staying in the social enterprise field but unsure of the current opportunities and ventures in Canada, since many social businesses are located in developing countries.

Does anyone have additional tips/resources to check out for a recent graduate looking to get into the social business field in Canada?

Caroline What kinds of tactics do you use when promoting green business with social media? I'm interning with a company that is currently in a competition to crowdsource the required funds needed to attend a mentoring and networking event for social businesses, as a clever way of testing their entrepreneurial drive. Any tips for crowdsourcing using social media?

Successful crowdsourcing is about having a powerful story that people want to support and share. How can you best present that story? Ask the people you know well first to support it and get some momentum and then go out to the next large circle of people you know and so on and so forth.

Caroline: Thanks Rebecca, great link and tips. I'll definitly post a followup link if I end up posting on Kickstarter.
