USA SOCIAL INNOVATORS
June 24- 29th we will be running our second Wavelength USA gig.
Our hosts this year are Disney, Google, eBay/PayPal, Ritz Carlton, Electronic Arts and Silicon Valley Bank.
All very exciting.
Full details of the week are in this brochure: www.thesamewavelength.com/docs/WavelengthUSA_FINAL_PDF.pdf
We operate a cross subsidy business model which enables social innovators to take part in our events and we are offering 5 free places on the USA trip. By 'free' we mean no event fee (£18,500) but the lucky five will have to pay for flights to and within the USA and for hotel accommodation.
Qualifying criteria:
- Your venture must have been in operation for a few years and scaled beyond start up. This offer is not for start ups, wannabe social enterprise leaders, commentators or academics (much as I value your work!). You must have a proven track record being socially entrepreneurial.
- We are agnostic about ownership model and will consider all business types with a clear positive social impact –‘non-profit’ and for profit.
- We will give priority to applications from socially entrepreneurial applicants based in Africa, Latin America and Asia but quality and clarity of purpose will trump geography.
- You must be a good English speaker.
- You must be personable and good fun. No bores or ideologues please.
To apply, simply send an email to liam@thesamewavelength.com telling me why you are right for this opportunity. Tell me about you, your organisation, why you want to come with us and what you think you can add to the quality and diversity of the group.
I will call/Skype shortlisted applicants.
Good luck!
