The Global Social Venture Competition began in 1999 and is a student-led initiative pioneered by the Haas School of Business, Columbia Business School, and the London Business School. The Indian School of Business is a full partner – with responsibility of promoting the competition in business schools in Asia, mentoring the teams, and holding the Asia semifinal round. GSVC is a business plan competition whose mission is to promote entrepreneurial businesses that satisfy two criteria:
–They have clear and quantifiable social objectives and impact
–They are financially sustainable, in the sense that they are profitable or self-supporting through revenue generation.
The team must have at least one person currently pursuing a full time MBA programme or has graduated during 2006.
Further information is available at www.socialvc.net or www.isb.edu/gsvc

1. Registration with five page summary (optional, if teams require mentoring support) – Wednesday, November 15, 2006 (to ISB at GSVC@isb.edu )
2. Submission of final plans – Friday, January 12, 2007 (to ISB at GSVC@isb.edu )
