SOCAP13 / CONFERENCE GUIDE WELCOME 54

ACCELERATING THE GOOD ECONOMY

Welcome to SOCAP13, our eighth convening of the market at the intersection of money and meaning, and our sixth one here at Ft. Mason in San Francisco. This year, we’ve come together to accelerate the good economy. We’re glad you’re part of the movement and the asset class that is the Social Capital Market. We’ve all come a long way from the days, only five or six years ago, when people thought we were crazy when we said there was a place between giving and investing that was part of both. At that time, people thought investing was about making the highest financial return as fast as you could, and giving was about doing good, and the two had nothing to do with each other. A lot of people thought that the space between philanthropy and the traditional capital market, where we set up shop, was heretical. When friends and I would talk about it eight years ago – when we were just launching our fund – several investors said the same thing. We made their heads hurt, they simply could not think like that. We were asked to leave their offices on more than one occasion

because they just could not stomach what we were saying: that you could invest with the purpose of doing good. When they did good, they did it by giving some of the money they had made by investing or creating their businesses. The two parts of their brain were separated by something I began to liken to the blood brain barrier; nothing new could pass through. To that way of thinking, you invest trying to make all the money you can. You put that money in one pocket on one side. Then you put as much as you can into another pocket on the other side, the giving pocket. And out of the second pocket you try to good, sometimes even trying to mitigate the things you did in making your money. We said we wanted to connect those worlds, to invest with the same goals that showed up when giving. Beyond the concept of impact investing lies a big shift. Tectonic plates that will transform Wall Street and Main Street are moving along with this shift. Our movement of impact investing and social enterprise is part of something much bigger that’s going on, a change in the way we are in the world. On a practical basis, within our part of the larger movement, the pioneering impact investors had to learn to think a different way, to change some of their fundamental

of startup accelerators. Having large sector foci, using an interdisciplinary lens, including art, we think can turn the flood of SOCAP information into something more manageable and grokable this time around. This year, we are bringing together the people doing it in health, and in revitalizing the oceans, using the market as a tool to create the public good we all know we need and rely on. This is the market in service of a thriveable, resilient commons, but one that rewards risk and innovation of the entrepreneur and the investor. Not surprisingly, when you take a sector focus, you find that some visionary and bold non-profit foundations were there first, scoping out the problem and the best approaches. That’s why we are thrilled to be partnering with the Packard Foundation as we look at using the market as a trim tab – the small tab that shifts the flow on a huge ship just enough that you can then turn the rudder and alter your course – to revitalize the ocean. We are working with Packard to change the story of the oceans; from mitigating a problem that outsizes us to using innovation and entrepreneurship, sometimes using new technology, sometimes working with and learning from indigenous coastal communities to even make money from cleaning the ocean. It’s the same in health, we are partnering with and learning from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as we link housing, health, technology, and innovation to help entrepreneurs and investors make money helping poor people get healthier. In the United States, there may be no greater venture capital opportunity right now than the intersection of Obamacare and mobile health apps and devices. And to reach that gold the fastest and the biggest, you have to understand how people at or just above the poverty line – such as 35 hour a week Walmart employees – learn to trust that you have their best interests at heart. Cultural literacy, therefore, has to become part of the core curriculum in both computer science and MBA curriculae. Never before has the path to profits led through understanding how low-income people think and act. Paying deep attention to Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP) is now core to making among the highest returns possible on venture capital technology plays in this country. Looking at our impact on the BoP in this country naturally causes us to look at the real impact of our capital. We also look deeply at the profound issue of extraction, of being extractive investors, those who may do good – use technology to increase the spending power or health of the poor, for instance – but still may take more from the communities they serve than they leave behind. Morgan Simon’s Transformative Finance Principles, starting with the simple decision to be a non-extractive investor, seems a good foundation to guide that discussion.

Because the principle barriers to the work we want to accomplish are cognitive, getting more people to think and act like the core SOCAP community, we are focusing on meaning more than ever this year. Meaning has finally got its own theme and dedicated sessions. We are focusing on both faith and art as lenses to help explain how we see the world and how we want to be part of changing the world.

SOCAP’s producer (and my wife), Rosa Lee Harden, has always been the one to bring in the elements that make SOCAP different from other conferences; convincing us that we should include time for open space, self-created content, and also leading the way on bringing in the meaning element to the conference. That is more relevant now than at previous conferences. That’s because of the little-mentioned fact that impact investors frequently have deeply spiritual reasons – most often linked to their faith tradition – for having the courage to go against the grain and start putting their real money where their heart is. As we endeavor to make a world that is good for all, we notice what works and what doesn’t. Faith seems to work here. That’s why clergy are here this year. We have a faith leader contingent having their own special curated experienced at SOCAP13. This is a group of clergy attending on scholarship with the goal of taking the concepts and design approaches of this community and bringing them back into their own churches and mosques and synagogues, and taking action with their communities in line with their own missions and how they see the world. SOCAP. It’s where change comes together to learn, to celebrate, and to make the connections happen that put change to work. On behalf of both of us, and in hopes that we can build a world that works for all of our grandchildren, welcome to SOCAP.

beliefs in order to move real investments toward the goals that they’d only relegated the (much smaller) pocket of philanthropic giving dollars to tackle before. Those pioneer impact investors were going upstream, against the grain. They had to explain to their peers and wealth managers that they wanted to merge their giving and investing goals without giving everything away. They had a lot of psychic furniture to move, some unquestioned presuppositions to dig up and toss aside, some unexamined guiding myths to tear up and reform. Investing with the goal of making a positive impact while also making positive financial returns flies in the face of the received wisdom of wealth, and the pioneer impact investors had to overcome that myth. I’m talking about the foundational myth of the capital market that we’ve inherited from the robber barons. Those wealthy and powerful businessmen of the 19th century were enamored of the market system and used it to its fullest, ignoring how their business practices that maximized the market approach also exploited the people and our planet. We are seeing the devastating results of that approach today. Yet, after pillaging the people and setting the stage for the destruction of the habitability of the planet through creating the oil industry and heavy manufacturing, they also set up the first big foundations. Yes, they wanted to give back, but they also wanted philanthropy to be out of the way of the wealth creation vehicle of the market. This is the myth we must overcome: that the market is separate from that which does good. There is not enough money in either philanthropy (both in the foundations and in our wallets) or in government to creatively engage the big problems we are facing. The market – the most powerful tool we’ve come up with to create abundance and allocate resources – has to play its part. It has to be brought under control, to become a tool to create the thrivable, resilient commons we all rely on and share. There are realities in the world right now in the forefront of our awareness – climate change, the end of cheap oil, the injustices and inequalities of the dominant systems in place – that will can serve to help us make sure that this movement is not just the illusion of change that we boomers thought we were a part of in the ‘60s. The market has to be brought under our control, its rapacious, selfish aspects curbed and put into service for the good of us all.

That’s what the people who come to SOCAP are trying to do: collectively fashion for-profit business as a tool to serve its owners, its investors, and all of us, rather than just as a way to enrich a few at the expense of the rest of us. The task ahead is inclusive of all who can contribute. It is intergenerational, as people of my generation work with entrepreneurs younger than my children who are going to be making a difference in the future, making the world a place where my grandchildren can thrive. As we at SOCAP individually and collectively strive towards new models, we are proud to announce that we have achieved one goal this year we’ve been trying to reach for a while: there are no all-male sessions at SOCAP13. We just set this as a goal and then have held to it. You can create a new normal if you stick to it. We are proud of what we achieved with this first step this year. And next year, we are planning to move this model a step further along by addressing other layers of diversity and voice inclusion, as well. Yes, we’ve come a long way. We, the people who are part of this movement, are being invited to gatherings of the insiders and the powerful of the market that we were not invited to a few years ago (or if we were invited, we were the inspirational lunch time show to lighten the tone when the grownups sat around the table). We have a session this week where two well-known billionaires who have become active in impact investing are going to strategize on how to lead other billionaires on this path. Perhaps they will find ways to encourage some of the high-profile philanthropists who are part of the Giving Pledge (who want to give more than half of their estate toward the public good when they die) to begin moving some of their investments now in order to support the world they want to leave behind. You could say the first five years of SOCAP were about proving that it was real, that you truly could put your money where your heart is and not be a fool, but could actually expect to make money and make change. Some of the early funds are starting to post encouraging early financial returns. We think we’ve fine-tuned the biggest complaint people have about SOCAP: that it’s great, they love the content and the energy, but it’s like drinking from a fire hose; too much, too fast. We agree with the thought leaders at Omidyar Network that the way to approach our task is with a sector approach: to work with all stake holders to solve big problems, government, philanthropic capital meshing with risk-taking venture capital, and the emergent solutions arising out of the fertile grassroots increasingly-connected network

SOCAP13 / CONFERENCE GUIDE CONNECTIONS 1110

Countless connections must happen to build the good economy that we all know is possible – an influential mentor to an entrepreneur, an aligned investment to a critical intermediary, a positive policy decision to a path forward. These connections don’t always come easily, yet they are happening every day – and in significant ways – everywhere around the world.

SOCAP13 is our opportunity to celebrate the collective momentum that we’re building, and to accelerate it even further during our time together in San Francisco. We invite you to take advantage of the multiple tools, programs, and platforms that we’ve provided in service of accelerating your connections!

SOCAP13 welcomes nearly 100 volunteers who will act as your guides to the gathering. Engage with our volunteers who are made up of inquisitive students, career changers, inspiring entrepreneurs, and knowledgeable social enterprise staff. Volunteers are a vital resource to the operation of the conference. With such diverse volunteers it will be no wonder they are your resource here at the conference and, possibly, in the future.

Spot SOCAP volunteers with their purple t-shirts and feel free to ask them questions. They are happy to help!

All plenary sessions will stream live online with overflow simulcast viewing available as indicated in the schedule.

If you miss a mainstage session, want to watch it again, or share it with someone not in attendance at SOCAP13 in San Francisco, these sessions will be made available on our website! View at livestream.socap13.net.

SOCAP is the perfect place to connect with like-minded groups of individuals who are interested in exploring the SOCAP13 experience through the lens or viewpoint of a specific focus area. The following are some of those opportunities:

Gender Lens Champions: Last year at SOCAP, 50 people banded together as champions of gender lens investing, bringing women and girls to the forefront in an unprecedented way. Since then, the movement championing gender as a strategic category of analysis in investing has taken off, and this year’s group promises to be even more impactful! Join us for sessions throughout the conference as we rally around gender lens investing and equip ourselves to champion the opportunities where a gender lens makes us smarter, more impactful investors. If you’re interested in participating, curated conversations will be hosted by Criterion Institute on Tuesday the 3rd at 10:30am in the Firehouse, and then again on Wednesday and Thursday mornings at 8am over breakfast at Impact Hub.

Faith Leaders: We’re gathering a cohort of faith leaders – imams, rabbis, ministers, and priests – who will be traveling throughout SOCAP13 together, and exploring the ways in which they can engage their faith communities around the good economy when they return home. If you’re interested in participating, please inquire at the registration desk.

Ocean Champions: This year SOCAP is sparking conversation about an emerging impact sector: oceans. Whether you have a personal, recreational, or professional interest in the oceans – or even if you’re just curious – join the conversation at SOCAP13. We’ll be gathering for breakfast on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in Impact Hub to extend the dialogue that starts in SOCAP: Oceans panel sessions and workshops. Each morning we will invite participants to engage in a more interactive discussion about increasing the sustainability of our oceans through investment and entrepreneurship.

If you’re interested in connecting with a group of attendees around a specific focus area, we invite you to make it happen! Our SOCAP13 Connect platform & mobile app allows you to find attendees based on interest and connect. Once you do, we recommend setting up a casual meeting time during breakfast in the Impact Hub!

Our community has an incredible opportunity to accelerate the ideas, learnings, and connections that come to life at SOCAP13 by sharing them beyond our experience together at Fort Mason. We’re calling on you! Let’s bring the world’s attention to the acceleration of our good economy.

U.S. arts organizations are the original social enterprises: for the last 50 years they have earned half their revenue. Artists are the original social entrepreneurs: holding a mirror up to nature to challenge prevailing assumptions, connecting new methods and materials with old problems, experimenting, collaborating, and making work for community consumption. Innovators harnessing markets for the public good in health, education, nutrition, and so many other areas have a lot to share and much to gain from talking with their peers in film, music, theater, spoken word, painting, new media – and all the other forms that succeed every day in crossing the chasm between markets and meaning. For 2013, Intersection for the Arts – in partnership with UC Berkeley Scholar-in-Residence Laura Callanan – is bringing artists, cultural entrepreneurs, and storytellers to the SOCAP conversation. The arts are essential to every conversation about social innovation. Find one of these artist entrepreneurs and engage a conversation to learn more about the connections between arts and social entrepreneurship.

ImpactSpace is excited to help SOCAP accelerate the good economy. We invite the SOCAP community to explore and add to the global, open database of people, companies, and investors delivering social, environmental and financial returns. With your help, we’re adding deep resources for entrepreneurs, fund managers, individual and institutional investors and advisors. Tell us what you know and what you need: ImpactSpace is building a common platform for the impact investing community. The ImpactSpace Tracker links to more than 2,000 impact companies, impact deals, and impact investors – including yours? Go to ImpactSpace.org to add or edit a profile, suggest a new resource, and explore the growing field of impact investing.

Liquidnet, the global institutional trading network, is proud to partner with ImpactSpace through its corporate impact program, Liquidnet For Good.

Room 210c will be open all during the conference with cushions, mats, and all that is needed for anyone to take advantage of a quiet space for meditation.

If you would like to take some time to center yourself we invite you to join in these 30 minute sessions happening before we get underway. Each of the three days will are inspired by a different religious tradition, but all are welcome. All sessions will be held at 8am in room 210c.

8:00am Wednesday: Meditation led by a Master Raja Yoga teacher

8:00am Thursday: Centering prayer from the Christian tradition

8:00am Friday: Meditation from the Buddhist tradition

In partnership with Herman Miller, SOCAP’s pop-up Impact Hub will come to life in Festival Pavilion. You’re invited to make this space yours: meet, network, work, and engage in the many opportunities that we’ll host for you in support of accelerating our collective impact. Live the Impact Hub’s year-round experience at SOCAP13! Impact Hub’s fifth year at SOCAP brings its most ambitious design yet. We’re building off last year’s successful strategy of filling the Festival Pavilion and bringing in the 108-year-old expertise of Herman Miller. Together, we’re offering an experience that fosters learning, connection, and creativity. The multi-functional space offers places to work, think, interact, and relax during the event.

When was the last time you made a change?

You changed because you wanted to create something better, right?

So did we.

We believe that a better world evolves when the collective action of compassionate, creative, and committed individuals is focused on a common purpose. As we move forward with the evolution of our global network, we are excited to showcase our purpose by adding ‘Impact’ to our name. Welcome to Impact Hub!

From Amsterdam to Johannesburg, Singapore to San Francisco, we have evolved into a rapidly expanding, diverse global network covering every continent with more than 7000 members and nearly 40 locations. Part innovation lab, part business incubator, and part community center, Impact Hub offers our members a unique ecosystem of resources, inspiration, and collaboration opportunities to facilitate impact. Step into any one of our Impact Hubs worldwide, and immerse yourself in the local experience of a global movement.

If you believe that true impact requires collective action, then we invite you to come and make it a reality with us every day at Impact Hub! Come say #HelloImpact.

Impact Hub and Herman Miller formed their partnership based on a vision to use inspiring space design to foster collaboration and innovation. Both organizations believe there is a new – and better – way to work, both structurally and functionally. Herman Miller has outfitted seven Impact Hub spaces in the United States, supporting 2,000 Impact Hub members’ work and helping drive the good economy.

SOCAP13 / CONFERENCE GUIDE ENTREPRENEURS 1918

Entrepreneurs are at the heart of building and accelerating the good economy. They find innovative solutions to pressing issues, seeking social impact with sustainable business models. SOCAP supports promising entrepreneurs through scholarships and tailored services such as the Impact Accelerator Weekend, innovation showcases, a marketplace for entrepreneurs’ goods, and mentoring opportunities.

The SOCAP Entrepreneur Experience started this past weekend with a gathering of over 120 social entrepreneurs and accelerators from all over the world for the Impact Accelerator @ SOCAP, in partnership with Halloran Philanthropies.

The 100 social entrepreneurs who attended the weekend program had the opportunity to select from a variety of sessions curated by accelerator leaders. SOCAP designed these sessions to deliver valuable content, to teach entrepreneurs relevant business skills, and to facilitate catalytic relationships between accelerators and peer entrepreneurs to help each other develop their businesses. This collaboration between entrepreneurs, accelerators, and SOCAP continues to build a worldwide network that amplifies the impact these entrepreneurs deliver.

Each year, SOCAP sets aside close to 100 tickets (a considerable amount of our budget) to scholarship entrepreneurs. Your ticket, our 200+ speakers paying their way to the event, and sponsor contributions all make this financially possible.

The following organizations have contributed to our Entrepreneurs’ Fund, ensuring that we continue to reach a diverse set of great entrepreneurs from all over the world:

• Halloran Philanthropies• Packard Foundation• Robert Wood Johnson Foundation• Vodafone Americas Foundation• Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves

Since its first seed grant to launch SOCAP in 2008, Halloran Philanthropies has targeted its human and financial resources toward the development of social entrepreneurs and impact investing. Social entrepreneurs accelerate the good economy by making impact tangible. At SOCAP13, we are thrilled to offer special programming tailored to help entrepreneurs build and improve the exciting new companies SOCAP investors are funding.

A select set of entrepreneurs have just participated in the Impact Accelerator @ SOCAP, a two-day intensive program designed to assist growth-stage entrepreneurs to plan and develop their business. During the program, entrepreneurs network with accelerator leaders and industry experts to examine fundamental business priorities that help companies keep their focus on their customer and their mission as they grow.

This year, we are also sponsoring Accelerate the Accelerators @ SOCAP, a one-day seminar designed to convene accelerator leaders from all over the world. By bringing together entrepreneurs and accelerators, SOCAP is creating an exciting ecosystem that grows and becomes more healthy every year. We can’t wait for you to meet them!

Accelerators who have been actively participating with these ventures are:

• Accelerating Appalachia• Agora - Latin America• AHMSA• ANDE• Artemisia• Artha Venture Challenge• BID network• Buckminster Fuller Institute• Centre for Innovation, Incubation and

Entrepreneurship (CIIE)• Code for America

This year at SOCAP, thanks to a generous grant from Halloran Philanthropies, more than 100 entrepreneurs from around the globe were not only given full scholarships to attend SOCAP, they were also invited to stay on the Fort Mason campus. Dubbed ‘Halloran House’ for SOCAP13, the Fisherman’s Wharf Hostel – located just behind and up the hill from the Firehouse – is housing these SOCAP13 scholarshipped entrepreneurs. Additionally, the entrepreneurs were housed together for their weekend experience of the Impact Accelerator @ SOCAP, which took place downtown at the Impact Hub.

This year, SOCAP has found more ways than ever to showcase many areas of innovation through creative place-making. From sector-focused showcases to the return of our popular Mobile Fast Pitch to a full marketplace of mission-minded products, you’ll find fascinating new companies, people, and ideas that are sure to expand your horizons.

HEALTH INNOVATION SHOWCASEPowered by Rock Health

Tuesday, 11am-5pmFriday, 9am-1pm

Innovations in software and hardware technology are transforming global health and wellness. At the Health Innovation Showcase you’ll meet promising companies demonstrating how technology can offer new solutions in health and medical care delivery and beyond. SOCAP – in partnership with the innovative health leader Rock Health – is bringing you cutting-edge companies at the intersection of health and technology.

CLEAN COOKING INNOVATION SHOWCASEPowered by the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves

Thursday, 9am-5pm You might be aware that there is a worldwide effort underway to address an issue that impacts nearly half the world’s population: inefficient and dangerous cooking methods and their negative impact on health and safety, the environment, and livelihoods. What we often don’t know is which solutions can make the most impact, and how to make those solutions commercially attractive for both businesses and consumers. In light of the 4 million people who lose their life annually due to the seemingly simple task of cooking a meal, SOCAP and the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves are partnering to reframe the cooking conversation.

SHOWCASING INNOVATIONAT SOCAP13!

The reality is this: Some highly impactful and investible solutions for bottom-of-the-pyramid consumers are found in the clean cookstove and fuel sectors. Touching so many of the areas we care about – health, environment, community development, and economic empowerment – clean cooking interventions can be simple solutions to big problems. We’ve curated some of the most promising enterprises in the sector to show that this movement – though including cookstove manufacturers – also extends to innovative models that span distribution, fuel sources, platforms for exchange, financing mechanisms, and new promising geographies. Our hope is that the next time an entrepreneur says “I run a clean cookstove startup” you’ll pause to imagine the tremendous world-changing potential and financial viability these solutions have to offer. Stroll through the Clean Cooking Innovation Showcase on Thursday, 9am-5pm in the Impact Hub @ SOCAP.

OCEAN INNOVATION SHOWCASEPowered by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation

Wednesday, 12pm-9pm You wouldn’t believe how much opportunity for innovation there is in the ocean! So we’re going to show you. Come by to talk with the entrepreneurs and see creative inventions in aquaculture, sustainable fishing, habitat restoration, and more. This showcase might inspire you to take your next venture out to sea!

PEOPLE-POWER SHOWCASEPowered by Pave.com

Wednesday, 9am-6pm Every good idea starts with a creative mind, a person with tremendous potential. Hopefully you’re at SOCAP to meet these types of individuals. Pave is a new platform that empowers young people to pursue impactful careers by connecting them with backers who provide funding, advice, and connections. In return, these young people offer their backers a share of income for 10 years, a flexible alternative to fixed debt payments. It’s a new type of impact investment designed to unlock a generation that wants to tackle important challenges. At SOCAP, we’ve partnered to create a new kind of showcase that focuses on the individuals driving impact, an interesting change from the product and technology demos we typically do. We hope that as you walk through the showcase you’re as inspired and as motivated to back these individuals as we are!

THE MARKETPLACEPowered by Given Goods

The marketplace will be open throughout the conference. This year, through our partnership with Given Goods, we’ve expanded a marketplace that offers consumers a more meaningful way to shop. Highlighting items that are sustainably sourced with a tangible impact, Given Goods facilitates the discovery of high-quality, stylish products that give back. By curating thousands of products that all make a tangible social impact – from tote bags and jewelry to home décor – Given Goods is redefining the consumer retail experience. Featuring both established brands as well as up-and-coming makers, the store is at the confluence of high quality products and the stories behind them. Take a moment to shop around and read the stories of these meaningful companies, and maybe bring home some gifts or souvenirs!

MOBILIZING WITH THE VODAFONE AMERICAS FOUNDATION

Wednesday, 1:30pm - 2:30pm in the Golden Gate Room The world is becoming more mobile every year! This year at SOCAP we’re excited to revisit an important area for this movement: Mobile! From mobile apps influencing behavior changes that address the social determinants of health, to education technologies democratizing knowledge around the world, mobile opportunities continue to abound. It’s time for another exciting mobile update and to discuss new challenges and barriers to scale.

In partnership with the Vodafone Americas Foundation we’ve partnered to bring mobile conversation to the table and highlight up-and-coming mobile entrepreneurs at SOCAP13.

The Vodafone Americas Foundation supports U.S. and international non-profit organizations to develop and utilize wireless and mobile technology to save lives, improve the community, increase opportunities for learning, and promote health, safety, and sustainability. Complex issues can be addressed with simple and innovative solutions. They believe technology can be the bridge between the resources available and those in need. The programs they support take advantage of innovative tools to improve society by connecting, educating, and empowering individuals.

Join us for the Mobile Fast Pitch session sponsored by the Vodafone Americas Foundation on Wednesday at lunch in the Golden Gate Room.

THE FUTURE OF IMPACT WITH OMIDYAR NETWORK

NEW AT SOCAP: A LETTER FROM OURCONTENT PRODUCER

THIS YEAR’S THEMES

In 2009, Omidyar Network and SOCAP partnered for the first time. Focusing on one sector - mobile - we brought the most talented entrepreneurs we could find to pitch their ideas at the Mobile Fast Pitch. That day, almost all of the entrepreneurs involved were funded by investors in the room. Together, we’ve continued a journey to serve impact investing by applying a sector lens, exploring opportunities in BoP (Bottom of the Pyramid) Technology in India, and serving as a platform for the launch of Priming the Pump – A Sector-Based Approach to Impact Investing. This year, SOCAP has grown in it’s own approach to supporting the growth of impact in key sectors, putting its stake in Health and Oceans in 2013. Meanwhile, our partners at Omidyar have asked the question, “What’s next? How do we apply the sector-based approach?” They have begun to map the different ways that investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers can play a role in accelerating the growth of specific industry sectors. At SOCAP13, Omidyar’s Matt Bannick will lead a session revisiting mobile, exploring the related challenges and opportunities for both impact and profit. Stay tuned for exciting efforts they have engaged in regarding the future of international policy efforts to advance impact investing!

As we build the Good Economy together, we attract increasing numbers of dollars, intra- and entrepreneurs, as well as the artists, place-makers, and community leaders who help us make a world we all enjoy sharing and can be proud to hand over to future generations. There is so much important work going on that the Content Team had an enormous challenge to narrow down to the 126 sessions we had at last count. We have tried to bring you a mix of thought-provoking content, whether you are new to the social capital markets or have been investing with a social purpose for many years. We have tried to balance the mix of innovators on the leading edge with the sometimes-less-applauded but oh-so-important people and organizations doing the plumbing and other infrastructure work needed. A few things worth noting about content this year:

• We discovered some facts that have opened our eyes and amazed us, and hope they will inspire and provoke you as well, as we share them throughout the conference.

• We have more content than ever about the role of government in the good economy, and – after the G8 summit and other events – this seems entirely appropriate. We hope you consider how you can engage to shape the future of the role of government.

• Partnerships have always been important, but we are beginning to see public corporations get even more engaged in the social capital markets, at least in partnerships with social enterprises. We are also bringing the public securities markets into the conversation for the first time at SOCAP.

We made a conscious effort to increase the gender diversity of people speaking at SOCAP. We insisted that we have no all-male panels, stretching our networks to engage the women practitioners. It has taken focus, but as of this writing, I believe we have at least one woman on every panel. It is a small but important step, and will enrich both the pool of valuable strangers at SOCAP, and the networks in the social capital markets. Next year, I hope we will build on the gender diversity, and increase our participation among people of color.

On behalf of the entire Content Team, I hope you enjoy SOCAP13. If you don’t have trouble choosing from multiple sessions you want to attend at least once this week, then I haven’t been doing my job.

ELIZABETH (or LIZ) KRUEGERContent Producer, SOCAP13

SOCAP: HEALTHInvesting in Health and Well-Being

SOCAP: OCEANSInvesting in the Link between People & PlanetIn Partnership with the David and Lucile Packard Foundation

SOCAP: Health focuses on new business models and investable opportunities in the social determinants of health (how cultural and societal factors drive well-being). We look at health in a holistic sense of the word – all the elements that go into wellness, MOST of which is NOT about medical care. The challenges and opportunities in the developed and developing world are different, so we have sessions targeted at each, and hope to extract and share innovation across geographies to accelerate better health for everyone.

There is a growing awareness of the connection between our well-being as humans and the health of our oceans. To fuel innovation and attract a broader set of stakeholders, SOCAP has partnered with the David and Lucile Packard Foundation to concentrate on reframing and energizing the current conversation around healthy oceans.

This initiative will empower individuals and organizations from diverse communities to see themselves as agents of change in preserving aquatic ecosystems, coastal livelihoods, and sustainable seafood supply chains. Using a systems approach to the issues facing our oceans and our communities, we can reconceive the challenges in a way that supports that supports existing ocean advocates while inviting imaginative new solutions.

SOCAP13 / CONFERENCE GUIDE CONTENT OVERVIEW 2928

THIS YEAR’S THEMES CONTINUED SOCAP IS HEADING TO TORONTO TO CONTINUE THE MOVEMENT. JOIN US!

SOCAP: COMMUNITIESPlace-Based Innovation and Development

SOCAP: Communities explores place-based innovation and development through providing examples of multi-dimensional, multi-stakeholder solutions that are applied in communities to generate an economy for good. In a progressively more global and transient society, creating grounded and stable communities is a significant endeavor.

SOCAP: INVESTINGImpact Investing and Philanthropy

SOCAP: MEANINGConnecting Mission to Me

Whether sharing our stories as entrepreneurs or leading others to support our mission, meaning is central to our work. We explore spiritual and non-spiritual aspects of meaning and money, creating community, inspiring others to join our cause, and addressing the challenges of staying the course as we tackle big social problems.

SOCAP: FAITH

In the United States, no important social change has been accomplished without the active involvement of faith leaders: from the emancipation of slaves to women’s suffrage to gay rights. We are exploring the continuation of this historical trend of effective change and are gathering a cohort of faith leaders – imams, rabbis, ministers, and priests – who will be traveling throughout SOCAP13 together and looking to create the good economy in their faith communities when they go home.

SOCAP: ART

This year, SOCAP welcomes artists-as-entrepreneurs, making work on topics like communities, health, social justice, and food systems. These cultural entrepreneurs work as wholly integrated social enterprises, spanning the non-profit and commercial sectors, shifting assumptions, and making change.

SOCAP: OPEN

This year SOCAP opened up. We invited all of you to participate in planning this special convening. Since our inaugural event in 2008, SOCAP has always been built from the collective ideas, stories, and knowledge of our global community. SOCAP: Open is a new platform to more directly harness this collective wisdom. Open allowed anyone with an internet connection to submit, vote for, and comment on sessions you wanted to see at SOCAP13. This was our first formal experiment in participatory conference planning. 120+ submissions, hundreds of comments, and thousands of votes later, our faith and appreciation for this special community has only grown. Not only did the submissions from SOCAP: Open help shape the content coming directly from our program team (three different sessions from SOCAP: Open were lifted by track leads who saw them as an integral part of their track’s story), we saw you all collaborate, merge sessions, and advocate for each other’s work. Thank you! In the end, roughly 20% of this year’s content is coming directly from SOCAP: Open, with 25 sessions coming through to the conference as winners. So, please accept our hearty thank you to everyone who participated in any way shape or form. And a special thank you to our advisory team who thoroughly and thoughtfully supported the judging process: Nick Aster and Jen Boynton (both of Triple Pundit), Lisa Richter of GPS Capital Partners, LLC, and Kari Gray of Impact Hub.

We bring the latest research on impact investing best practices gleaned from experience, as well as new initiatives from both newcomers and experienced participants. We explore innovations in approaches and infrastructure, as well as lessons learned, and even some exits that preserve mission and impact. We look at approaches both generally and using examples within sectors such as Health.

Impact Ontario: March 18, 2014 In Toronto, Ontario, Canada

A partnership between SOCAP, MaRS Centre for Impact Investing, and the Government of Ontario, supported by RBC, Impact Ontario will feature world-leading Canadian investors and intermediaries, world-changing social ventures and a host of international stakeholders.

At SOCAP13, Impact Ontario is showing up to highlight one sector, the burgeoning ed tech space in Ontario where 200+ self-identified ed tech startups cohabit with a venture fund space that has increased threefold in the past 3 years in a $1 trillion education market.

Approximately 10 years ago the Ontario Government invested in creating 14 Regional Innovation Centres (RICs) across the province to support innovators to turn great ideas into globally competitive products and services. Now, Ontario’s entrepreneurial ecosystem is booming.

A highlight of Impact Ontario will be an Impact Venture Fair for local and international investors seeking high quality, high potential impact investment opportunities spanning sustainable food, clean technology, affordable housing, education, and enterprises employing or supporting persons facing barriers to success. Join us in what is sure to be one of the most energy-packed gatherings of 2014 in Toronto: Impact Ontario!

SOCAPOceans

Life on a fishing boat: it’s more “Deadliest Catch” than “The Love Boat”. Fisher poets and storytellers set the scene, with true tales of seafaring and the daily battles with nature and technology that make transparency and sustainability a challenge. Hope is at hand, though. Innovators and market solutions are stepping in to help bridge the gaps in the supply chain and make the ocean-based economy safer, more sustainable, and more investible.

Andrew Bassford / IPNLF (International Pole and Line Foundation)Maria Finn / AuthorKeith Flett / Open Ocean TradingRob Seitz / FishermanRobert Terry / Smart Catch Technologies LLCCheryl Dahle / Future of Fish (moderator)

Collecting and using community data has never been easier, impact investing is poised to scale programs that work, and pay for success tools are proliferating across the country. Combined, these innovations provide a framework for a new social service paradigm in which successful programs are identified, capitalized, and rewarded for solving our most intractable problems. Hear about what this new paradigm means for you and how to get ahead of the sea change to come.

The multi-trillion dollar ecosystem services provided by the ocean are at risk from overfishing, pollution, coastal sprawl, and climate change. But in California many of these issues are being effectively addressed through public engagement and private investment in the state’s massive blue economy. This panel will reflect the diverse and enterprising interests that make California a world model for both economic and technological innovation as well as marine conservation.

U.S. per capita health care expense far exceeds its developed nation peers, while its outcomes lag and show persistent disparity by income and ethnic group. Impact investors are backing disruptive innovations that are improving health access, quality, and outcomes, while often significantly reducing cost. How are investors sourcing their deals? What is the pathway for entrepreneurs who are generating the deals? How can we accelerate needed innovation?

Explore ways to achieve scaled impact by taking a broader, markets-based approach to deploying social capital. This means looking beyond the venture level to strengthen supply chains, improve sector-wide knowledge, and take other steps to support growth across a whole market. Following on last year’s ‘Blueprint to Scale’ session, this panel benefits from research for Monitor Deloitte’s forthcoming ‘Building Markets’ study. Other panelists will share experiences from different sectors and market-building approaches.

An overall approach for building innovation ecosystems ranges from policy setting to mentoring programs, financing, and design thinking. Panelists will present their experiences of how this ecosystem framework should be adapted to local contexts based on resources available. The panel will include examples from a broad set of regions including the U.S. and emerging market countries, and the lessons learned from each context.

What happens you take a popular methodology from the tech world, and apply it to social good organizations? In this panel we’ll explore ways the social sector can use ‘Lean Startup’ principles to help achieve their social mission. We’ll hear from leaders from non-profit, social enterprise, and foundations, to learn about how they’re using Lean, and you’ll learn the keys to using these principles with your own team.

Who is acting as the lobbyist for the economy of our great-grandchildren? What role does mobilizing social change and advocacy play in the new economy? Who will be the organizers for a marketplace that generates positive outcomes for all people and all places? This session will explore the role of advocacy and mobilization by learning from those who have dedicated their lives to catalyzing social movements.

Donor fragmentation has posed a pervasive challenge across philanthropic initiatives.

How can we better coordinate donations and investments in medical research in order to create fluid finance pipelines across diseases?

Traditional asset allocation argues that prudent investors reserve substantial portions of their portfolios for debt to mitigate volatility and provide ongoing needed cash flow. In recent years, debt markets have experienced low rates of interest for a host of reasons, but the results for investors serve to raise caution flags.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6PRIVATE SECTOR ROUTES TO INNOVATION IN GLOBAL HEALTH: SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP, PHILANTHROPY, AND CORPORATIONS60 Minute Session / Southside Theater

SOLUTION REVOLUTION60 Minute Session / Golden Gate

Addressing the challenges of developing solutions for health and medical care in the developing world has traditionally been the domain of the public sector. However, private sector involvement has increased over time, bringing with it new approaches, additional resources, and different expectations. This panel will explore how representative private sector organizations are contributing to global health innovation, and will discuss the challenges and opportunities they see in improving access to and quality of health care in resource constrained settings.

Sarah Skye Gilbert / Bill & Melinda Gates FoundationDaniel Grossman / MedtronicRajesh Gupta / Novel ProductsGarrett Spiegel / D-RevJessica Vernon / Miti HealthAmy Lockwood / RIVET (moderator)

Where tough societal problems persist, citizens, social enterprises, and – yes – even businesses, are relying less and less on government-only solutions. The collective force of these problem solvers is creating dynamic and rapidly evolving markets for social good. The panel will explore how they’re advancing their own unique variation of distributed problem solving, succeeding where others have failed, and what the future portends for the increasingly interconnected worlds of social impact and business.

SOCAP TEAM: ACCELERATING THE GOOD ECONOMY 365 DAYS A YEAR

SOCAP MANAGEMENT TEAM

SOCAP CONTENT TEAM

Our diverse team of serial entrepreneurs, impact investors, multilingual travelers, production experts, and content innovators work together year-round to do more than just produce events. Together, we scour the world and connect grassroots and institutional efforts for social innovation. We seek to accelerate the good economy and we have a lot of fun doing it.

KEVIN JONES Founder, Convener, and Curator

ROSA LEE HARDEN Founder and Executive Producer

PENELOPE DOUGLAS Board Chair, Mission HUB

TIM FREUNDLICH Founder

JENNIFER NICE General Manager, Mission HUB

Many hours of effort went into bringing you this content, not only from the official Content Team, but also by leaders who gave their time to corral speakers and work with us as we juggled schedules and harassed them about deadlines. In addition to overall content generation and oversight from Kevin Jones and Elizabeth Krueger, our content areas were orchestrated by:

HEALTH

Douglas Jutte, MD, MPH is a professor and population health researcher at UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health and Executive Director of the newly formed National Partnership for Community Development & Health. Dr. Jutte graduated from Cornell University and received an MD from Harvard Medical School and a master’s degree in public health from UC Berkeley. He completed his pediatric training at Stanford University and continues to care for at-risk newborns as a neonatal hospitalist.

OCEANS

Jeff Leifer, CEO of Circadian Media Lab, worked with a team of content experts including Cheryl Dahle and Cari Hanson (founder and strategist respectively, both from Future of Fish), as well as Monica Jain, founder of Fish 2.0. Jeff is a social entrepreneur, storyteller, and financial reformer with three decades’ experience at the intersection of technology, media, and design thinking. Kelly Pendergrast from Circadian Media Lab and Lindsay Norcott from SOCAP provided content support and project management for the development of this track.

COMMUNITIES

INVESTING

Elizabeth Krueger – Content Producer for SOCAP13 – has been working with the SOCAP team in various capacities since 2009, and with Kevin and Rosa Lee since a 2005 conference on Values. A former executive in financial services and health technology organizations, she has increasingly focused her career on impact investing and social enterprise where her systems thinking and execution skills can help accelerate change. Liz holds an MBA in Sustainable Management from Presidio Graduate School. She really does answer interchangeably to Elizabeth and Liz.

MEANING

Tim Soerens is the co-founding director of the Parish Collective, a faith-based social enterprise that convenes leaders for holistic renewal rooted in particular neighborhoods while also linking collaboratively across the city. He is a co-founding adviser of the Impact Hub Seattle and this year’s “meaning” curator for SOCAP.

Previously, Laura served as Associate Director at the Rockefeller Foundation, overseeing program-related investments in Creativity and Culture.

OPEN

Rebecca Petzel works with for-profits, non-profits, networks, and foundations helping groups take collective action for a better world. She has spent the past five years unpacking the way that how we work together affects our health, as individuals and as a society. Since completing her thesis on the potential of collaborative innovation communities to fuel social and environmental change in 2009, she’s been fortunate to work with inspiring organizations and networks across the globe designing better systems for participation and experiences that unlock our collaborative potential.

FORT MASON CENTERfortmason.org

SOCAP13 returns for a sixth year to its dynamic water-front home at Fort Mason Center, a unique destination for thought-provoking programs, events, and organizations that support and reflect the evolving cultural fabric of San Francisco. The campus is a National Historic Landmark and part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the country’s largest urban national park.

SELFLESS TEEselflesstee.com

This year, SOCAP volunteers and staff are wearing t-shirts from SelflessTee, a San Francisco based organization that raises money and awareness for charities with cause-inspired apparel. Every two weeks, SelflessTee launches a campaign with a new cause-inspired tee, with a different charity, and fueled by the social shares and purchases of the community. SelflessTee donates $7 from every t-shirt sold.

U.S. PURE WATERuspurewater.com

The water in Festival comes from U.S. Pure Water Corporation. The full spectrum water treatment service and sales company’s aim is to reduce plastic waste & the use of fossil fuels in the delivery and production of plastic bottles, by providing equipment that treats at the point-of-use (POU) rather than at a treatment plant far away. USPW converted SF City & County to POU systems, and is helping to green events, preventing hundreds of thousands of bottles from landing in the waste stream.

SAN FRANCISCO CONSERVATION CORPSsfcc.org/recycling.html

SOCAP and SFCC couldn’t do it without you! All event waste at Fort Mason Center is managed by the San Francisco Conservation Corps with an aim toward landfill diversion and resource recovery. Following SOCAP11, we received this update from SFCC: “We were able to produce a resource recovery / landfill diversion rate of 96.19%, which means that only 3.81% of the event’s total generated waste of 11799.72 lbs is headed to landfill. These great numbers could not have been achieved without your support and cooperation in striving for a ‘zero waste’ event. SOCAP is absolutely one of, if not the greenest event that we do. It is obvious that the SOCAP producers and attendees have a real interest in putting on as green an event as possible, which is extremely rare and a pleasure for us to be involved in.”

ACRE GOURMETacregourmet.com

Acre Gourmet makes choices that support sustainability. Acre wants to set an example by protecting the environment for future generations by abiding by these business principles:

• Using local, organically grown produce and humanely raised meats

• Buying directly from local purveyors to cut down on food miles and increase their profits

• Following sustainable practices like our full composting / recycling program that aims for ‘zero waste’ and our use of ‘to go’ packaging made from biodegradable sugar cane fibers

• No use of pre-packaged, processed foods• Using modern energy-saving equipment and high

temperature dishwashers that cut down on the use of chlorine

• In all of our kitchens, Acre uses the freshest, least processed ingredients available and whenever possible uses organic products that are naturally low in sugar and saturated fats. Menus are diverse, balanced, and exceed USDA guidelines for nutrition.

Changing the direction of capitalism is about more than just talk, it’s about delivering on our ideals. That’s why we’ve done everything we can to use vendors who share our values for social responsibility and social benefit. We’ve also tried our best to minimize the detrimental environmental impact that large conferences like this one generally have. For instance, this year’s badge holder is fully biodegradable with zero toxic residue, and the lanyard is made of 100% biodegradable and renewable bamboo. From consumption and waste to energy and emissions, we’ve taken steps to reduce the event’s footprint and make sustainability our priority.
