Entrepreneurs have been key participants at SOCAP since our first event in 2008. Every year, amazing partner organizations help us to support the entrepreneur experience at SOCAP and build the ecosystem throughout the year.

We are thankful for the ongoing support of Halloran Philanthropies, a foundational supporter of our work with entrepreneurs and accelerators since 2011 and original sponsor of the Impact Accelerator @SOCAP, a day of special programming for our scholarship entrepreneurs that will continue at SOCAP14.

SOCAP also thanks great partners like the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves and Vodafone Americas Foundation who help to underwrite entrepreneur efforts towards specific verticals.

This year we are excited to bring new programming, tools, and mentorship to entrepreneurs at SOCAP.

• The Gratitude Network will announce awards at SOCAP14 for outstanding ventures in Health, Education, and Community Development. The Gratitude Awards at SOCAP14 brings this unique opportunity to the winning social entrepreneur. Winners are awarded a trip to Silicon Valley and face-to-face mentorship from:

Matt Flannery, Co-Founder and CEO, Kiva
