CREATING A CAMPUS-BASED
SOCIAL INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM
GLOBAL MODELS// LOCAL CASE STUDY
James Halliday (Koç University)

Why is the university an ideal setting for
social innovation to flourish?
Social Innovation – On Campus
Matching Mission & Values
Universities – in particular, foundation universities –
are themselves social enterprises.
Foundations – through the work of their endowments –
can be first-mover impact investors.
Blended Value Proposition:
1) Multiple Revenue Streams
2) Beneficiaries & Customers
3) Demonstrable Social Impact
4) Mission & Values at the Strategic Core
5) Impact-driven Investment
(Program-related Investment, or PRI)
Learn & Localize
Global Examples
CAMPUS Y
(UNC –
Chapel Hill)
1)Workspace
2)Funding
3)Capacity
4)Expertise
5)Partners
CAMPUS Y
(UNC –
Chapel Hill)
From Innovation to Impact In January 2012 a selection team of social innovation and
entrepreneurship experts from UNC-Chapel Hill and the broader
community evaluated 17 teams competing for seed capital,
dedicated workspace and equipment, capacity-building
workshops, and expert coaching services. Two for-profit and
two non-profit teams were chosen as the
Incubator's first full-time residents, qualifying them
for $15,000 in seed capital to be disbursed over
their 18-24 month incubation period.
In the Social Innovation Incubator's first semester (Spring 2012), the
Campus Y held workshops on legal and financial liability, non-
profit incorporation, organizational messaging, strategic business
planning, board development, grant writing and marketing that
were also open and promoted to a campus-wide audience.
Incubator startup teams and aspiring UNC social
entrepreneurs were able to leverage the expertise
of leading social enterprise CEOs, renowned
global philanthropists, and distinguished UNC
alumni and professors.
Social Innovation Incubator
The SII offers two incubation programs:
Vector Program members receive tailored, one-on-one consulting, access to
advisors, and discounts on services and events. The Vector Program is focused on
social enterprises with an established business model that are currently generating
revenue and/or hold significant, proven IP. Membership is by invitation only.
Circuit Program members move through a six-month incubation program together.
Small group meetings every other week alternate between workshops delivered
by local experts and facilitated peer-mentoring sessions. The program uses the
Lean Startup methodology, Business Model Canvas, and customer discovery
process to guide development of successful social enterprises. Those who
successfully complete the program are invited to participate in the Social
Innovation Expo and Demo Day (formerly Pitch Fest) in June
"The most incredible part of the journey
was being in the field with the people
of India and seeing social impact take
shape. No classroom alone could offer
this kind of inspiring and humbling
experience."

Leading social enterprises
As the Rothschild-Antropia Program identifies only the best in what is available
in the “social market” for scaling-up, it has defined strict selection criteria,
including:
• significant and demonstrable social impact
• a proven track-record in revenue-generation
• outstanding potential for development and/or expansion
• effective contribution to Social Return on Investment (SROI)
