What We Do

Attract: We attract young social entrepreneurs with bold ideas from around the world. Through an intensive application process, these young social entrepreneurs are chosen to become Unreasonable Fellows and attend our Summer Institutes. We attract experts, innovators, and specialists in the field of social entrepreneurship, investment, business, poverty eradication, engineering, health, and the civil sector to mentor them.
Unite: Imagine if the likes of Mahatma Gandhi, Mohammad Yunus, Henry Ford, Nelson Mandela, Albert Einstein, and Martin Luther King came together at a young age to develop solutions to the world's most pressing problems. Now stop imagining. That's what we do with up to 25 young social entrepreneurs from around the world at our intensive 10 Week Summer Institute.
Incubate: At our Summer Institutes, these young social entrepreneurs undergo rigorous and practical training including personal & entrepreneurial skill development, intensive collaboration & work-shopping, and involved guidance from mentors. Additional support includes website design & development, premier research access, and free legal consultations. Each Unreasonable Fellow will graduate the Institute with a viable business plan that is purposeful, sustainable, scalable, and replicable. Read More...
Finance: The culmination of the 10-week summer institute will be an Investor's Pitch Fest in which all Fellows will showcase their ventures to an audience of industry investors and philanthropists. Furthermore, Unreasonable Fellows will be able to post their ideas on our online marketplace for social investment, where they can receive feedback, connect with potential collaborators, and obtain the seed capital they need to make their ideas a reality. Financing may come in the form of investment, grants, equity, or a combination of the three. Think kiva.org for social ventures.
Global Network: Mentors, a global community of social entrepreneurs, and professional expertise are integral to the long-term success and effective execution of Unreasonable Ventures. Our Fellows gain access to this network of support.
