Running a social enterprise can be a rewarding journey, but it’s always easier when you don’t have to navigate it alone. Socialpreneur Chats, hosted by Pillar Nonprofit Network as part of the Pillar Impact and Learning Centre, is your opportunity to connect with fellow social enterprise operators for peer support, fresh ideas, and valuable insights.
This in person, informal session facilitated by our Social Enterprise Coach Blair Henry, welcomes participants in-person at Innovation Works (1st floor Commons). Whether you're looking to share an idea, discuss a challenge, or simply gain inspiration from others, Socialpreneur Chats is the perfect space for social innovators to connect and collaborate.
What to Expect:
-
Peer Support: Bring a challenge or success to share, or just listen to others' experiences—you're bound to leave with new ideas.
-
Focused Discussions: Engage in open, solution-oriented conversations with fellow social entrepreneurs who understand the unique challenges of building a social enterprise.
-
Expert Insights (Without the Lecture): Many sessions include subject matter experts—not to deliver a formal presentation, but to respond directly to your real-world questions. Whether you’re wondering how to move from a shoebox of receipts to a financial app, or trying to figure out which tools actually make sense for your stage of growth, these experts are there to help you think it through. You’ll get practical guidance, honest advice, and answers grounded in experience—so you can make confident next steps on your social enterprise journey.
Whether you’re looking for support on a specific project, seeking feedback on your business model, or just wanting to network with like-minded individuals, Socialpreneur Chats offers a welcoming, collaborative space to learn and grow.
