Who is a Social Entrepreneur?An entrepreneur who acts with purpose

Students Post GCSEN HISE Boot Camp word cloud on “Social Entrepreneurship”

2015 – 2016 Annual Report

Administration and FacultyEndorsements

Babson College has had the benefit of Michael Caslin’s energy and counsel as an adjunct faculty member for years and I have personally witnessed his impact on students in teaching the Social Entrepreneurship course. He has served a valuable advisor to many before the creation of the Lewis Insti-tute and campus wide initiative. As a National Board Member for NFTE, I can appreciate the magnitude of the challenges he faced over 20 years as the organization’s CEO…the reputa-tional capital that was built far exceeded the formal resources they had available to them.

— Observations by Dr. Len Schlesinger, Babson College, President Emeritus

Mike Caslin is a true pathfinder in entrepreneurship for young people in America. He is one of the truly great social entrepreneurs of our time

— Dr. Jeffry Timmons, Babson College

I wish you all the best in this endeavor. It is definitely a great cause and I fully support it.

— Prof. Jay Rao, Babson College

Mike Caslin, a terrific student of mine, a wonderful friend and true champion of the disadvantaged

— Professor Ed Ryan, Manhattanville College

I first met Mike Caslin when I joined Babson College as Division Chair. He had been an adjunct faculty member teaching social entre-preneurship and I became his direct supervisor and have known him for 6 years. His strengths are personal interaction, communication, sales and marketing and non-profit/foundation work in-cluding NFTE and knows the landscape of social entrepreneurship very well. He has built connec-tions, knows how to do research, collect data and importantly is committed to social mission ventures and non-profits. He has taught gradu-ate and undergraduate courses and I observed his teaching on several occasions and there is no question that he engages students in rich discussion and is an enthusiastic presenter…

— Professor Candy Brush, Babson College

Chris Hewitt, CSE 2015 Chris attended GCSEN’s first boot camp which was held at Marist College. Chris was the owner of a successful local newspaper, Country Wisdom. At the boot camp he further developed his idea for starting a local barter exchange currency. After the boot camp he merged his newspaper with the Hudson Valley Current, and creating a new, more aligned regional nonprofit corporation.

“Since taking GCSEN’s High Impact Social Entrepreneurship (HISE) Boot Camp, I’ve been a more confident business-man who understands the importance of the people I work with and the planet we live on. I often hear Professor Caslin’s sage voice in my head when making decisions or thinking something through. He and his team helped put

the wisdom back into my business, Country Wisdom.”

Ronald Zorrilla, CSE 2015 Ron also attended GCSEN’s first HISE Boot Camp at Marist College. Ron was working in finance for a Wall Street firm but really wanted to make a 4P-Impact© difference. At GCSEN’s HISE Boot Camp he launched an idea for using “nature” as a classroom, combining his passion for hiking and camping with helping inner city kids learn more about STEEM (Science, Technology, Engineer-ing, Entrepreneurship, and Mathematics) concepts. Afterward, he was successful in obtaining his first contract under the NYC Dept. of Education. He has also been a finalist at two regional business plan competitions (CUNY IBM Citywide Smartpitch and Babson College NYC Rocket Pitch) against 500+ competitive plans submitted.

“The tools and skills I learned at the HISE Boot Camp were pivotal in helping me land my first contract and have also prepared me to lead Outdoor Promise.”

Shawna Chahanovich, CSE 2015 Shawna leads Duo Bistro, a celebrated local farm-to-table restaurant in Kingston, NY. Since graduating from the HISE Boot Camp as a Certified Social Entrepreneur she has expanded her business operations by taking over two adjacent storefronts. She continues to find success with her business model that focuses on sourcing her food supplies locally. Duo was recognized as Hudson Valley’s “Best New Restaurant and Best Bistro” in 2013.

“Finally, I am getting help to align my business efforts with my passion for social entrepreneurship.”

Yana Averbukh, CSE 2015Yana is the founder of Fiercly Green which is an eco-friendly online women’s retail shop. As a student of Professor Caslin at CUNY Baruch she completed her MA in Social Entrepreneurship. Since graduating from the GCSEN HISE Boot Camp she has scaled her business and now offers consulting services to other women’s fashion retailers looking to move into sustainable, eco-friendly packaging and sourcing.

“Thanks to GCSEN I was inspired, and now with GCSEN’s tool kit I’m empowered to succeed and go from start-up to scale.”

Jenish Amatya, Wheaton ‘17, a Davis United World College High School Scholar and current Wheaton College scholarJenish is a student of computer science and economics at Wheaton College. He is also the cofounder of United World for Women and Girls (UWWG), an organization aimed at empowering women to increase participation in community development.

At the SISE-HISE Boot Camp he dramatically improved his “business pitching skill” and narrowed launch plans for his ventures. He was selected for the Youth Assembly at the United Nations (UN), where he authored a resolution document for the 2030 Agenda and addressed the General Assembly at the UN. At the UN he made numerous contacts related to his future project.

“At the SISE-HISE Boot Camp, I dared to conceptualize my dream of bringing a wireless network to the most isolated villages across rural Nepal.”

Kyle McNicoll, Wheaton ’17Kyle came to the boot camp with an idea for a biodegradable coffee lid made from Cornstarch. At the SISE-HISE Boot Camp he refined his business model and developed confidence in his ability to present his idea to others. After the boot camp he changed the product name from Liddles to Bio-Lid and made a connection with Caribou Coffee, a West Coast chain with 297 locations that are interested in carrying Bio-Lid. He experienced an initial setback when a competitor began selling a similar lid locally. Kyle “pivoted” and approached GCSEN for assistance in restarting his venture and looks to be one of the first Wheaton College students to operate at GCSEN’s Venturator.

“You believed in us and gave us the opportunity to work on our ideas with mentors who have guided our energy. Now the rest is up to us!”

Sarah Alexander, Wheaton ’16 Sarah continues her work on the mobile app she’s developing for her business venture, Impressions. Sarah seeks to change “how people dress and manage their wardrobe.” She is currently employed at Victoria’s Secret’s flagship store in NYC, organizing their visual layouts. In her spare time, she has also been contacting ministers and priests to organize donations of clothes for the homeless and plans to work in helping homeless adults apply for jobs and dress for success.

“I had an ‘idea’ but ‘no idea’ actually of what to do with it up until now! This program has helped me get my thoughts together and make progress toward my business plan and, most

important, actual implementation of what I have learned.”

Jordan Ross, CSE 2016 Jordan came to GCSEN’s HISE Boot Camp at the Venturator in August 2016 with an idea for a venture to help domestic abuse victims leave their situation by helping them maintain a relationship with their pets via free foster pet emergency services. At the HISE Boot Camp Jordan honed his fundraising and business development skills.

Afterward Jordan asked Prof. Mike Caslin to assist him in competitively applying to Brown University’s Social Enterprise Greenhouse and was accepted! PetsEmpower was competitively selected as one of nine start-up social enterprises for its Spring 2017 12-week business accelerator program. Jordan also graduated from the Boston Impact HUB, MIT, and Cornell Incubators.

“As a Cornell University graduate, I’ve since worked with MIT, Cornell, and Brown’s SEG, and now, after GCSEN, I have the tools to live my dream to help save the lives of those suffering in domestic violence and

the lives of their pets, first in Rhode Island’s local communities and then around the world.”

Lydia Hodges, CSE 2016“Chef Lydia” attended the HISE Boot Camp at the GCSEN Venturator to explore how to practically turn her love of organic cooking into a social enterprise. Little Plates now gives young children creative, fun, and nutritious meals, every day! At Little Lambs Academy she incorporates homemade original recipes that are cooked fresh daily with nutritious local farm-to-table products into daily menus for children aged 6 months to 6 years.

Lydia cautiously joined the boot camp and was unsure if she had a viable idea. Through the GCSEN Boot Camp Lydia learned to believe in herself and her business venture; then, right after class graduation she launched her business, Little Plates! She secured her first contract in September 2016 too! She credits the GCSEN HISE Boot Camp for giving her the confidence and tools to turn her idea into a viable business.

“Thanks to GCSEN, my ‘2036 verse’ continues to be lived today! I can and will change the way children are fed in daycares and schools through truly nutritional, organic, farm to table kid-friendly food.”

Amara Projansky, CSE 2016 Amara is founder of Luminary Media whose mission is to create publications that nourish and support the creative life of the Hudson Valley and the world, and to demonstrate a paradigm of that creativity in action. She is publisher and cofounder of extremely popular magazines Chronogram, Upstater, Upstate House, and Explore the Hudson Valley, with a reach of over 1,000,000 loyal readers in the tristate Hudson Valley area each year.

“Meeting so many accomplished and experienced entrepreneurs and having the opportunity to soak up their mindset has been motivating. Working though the exercises, guided by Mike and the GCSEN team, has helped

me further innovate and align my thoughts and intentions.”

LAND • COMMUNITY • HOME

Volume 7, Issue 12 • December 2016

By Paul SmartMike Caslin was teaching

at Babson College and its sis-ter F. W. Olin Graduate School of Business while simultane-ously getting his MBA four years ago when his concept for what is now the Global Cen-ter for Social Entrepreneurship Network (GCSEN) first formed.

“It was a fusion of three decades of my career,” he says. “I saw a tremendous need.”

At the time, he started to put together his new way of teaching the au courant idea of social entrepreneurship. Caslin was coming off two decades as CEO of the Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship, which reached out to over a half million youth in 31 states and 13 countries; work with over 40 firms across 12 industry sectors as both an outside stra-tegic consultant and inside op-erational leader; plus his own entrepreneurial activities that ranged from investments and board membership on dozens of for- and nonprofit entities to 14 domestic and eight start-up ventures. He was known for being able to raise funds and teach the hard lessons and un-derlying theories of entrepre-neurship.

So how did he get the bug for social entrepreneurship, then find new ways to promote its community- and sustainabili-ty-focused precepts as a teach-able tool as important for busi-ness school students as supply and demand, fixed and variable costs, returns on investment and basic competitiveness?

“There needs to be a fo-cus on the triple bottom line,” Caslin says, speaking about his basic approach to what he believes will be driving the new “millennial driven econo-my” for the next 40 plus years. “People first, with essential profit and environmental stew-ardship is the most practical, pragmatic, and peaceful way forward to a more productive, prosperous and just society. You need account-ability, targeted improvements for one’s host community, and inten-tionality.”

T h e concept of socially re-sponsible b u s i n e s s approaches taking root in the world in general, and Hud-son Valley in particular, builds from the new 21st cen-tury business focus on entre-preneurship that lay dormant for decades after first being discussed by Adam Smith in the late 18th century and then refined by Joseph Schumpeter and other Austrian economists of the 1930s. It takes a recog-nition of the inevitability of at least some periods of self-em-ployment in most people’s working lives these days, and combines it with a penchant for start-up companies seeking to make money while address-ing societal problems, as well as those seeking to alleviate the negative aspects of seek-

ing capital through new means of balance.

To demonstrate its meth-odology in practice, Ulster County-based GCSEN has been presenting major talks at local schools, including SUNY Ulster’s Howard St. John lec-ture in early October. It ran a social entrepreneurship boot camp last summer over the same weekend that many in the region celebrate as the an-

niversary of the 1969 Woodstock Fes-

tival, and also started a new

“ G C S E N Venturator” p r o g r a m in tan-dem with family-run FALA Tech-

nologies. T h e

Ve n t u r a t o r is a combina-

tion of innovation incubator resources,

co-working space for start-up ventures, cutting edge blend-ed learning curriculum lab, and classroom. It is designed to serve as “home for social en-trepreneurs from across Amer-ica who want to go the full distance from concept to com-mercialization.” All have been funded through GCSEN’s earned income from its various educational programs, as well as a generous grant from the Diana Davis Spencer founda-tion, one of whose missions is to support a rebirth of Ameri-can entrepreneurship.

According to Caslin, his starting of GCSEN in the Hud-

son Valley—Kingston specifi-cally—came as the result of his own family journey to relocate to Hurley.

“We see Kingston as a lo-cal hub that’s globally relative,” he says, pointing out how GCSEN is now working with MIT to create blended learn-ing courses just as they did years ago with IBM during its heyday in the area. “Most busi-ness schools have not yet ap-propriated what we’re doing, but that situation is fast evolv-ing. And we’re not constrained to business schools... I guess you can consider the GCSEN approach and our knowledge bank as the intellectual soft-ware and proprietary course ware for teaching the new en-trepreneurship.”

Caslin notes the work he’s been doing with students, “faculty champions,” depart-ment chairs, deans, provosts and college presidents to raise awareness of the need for new concepts for new businesses asking not so much what they want to do, but why.

He also adds that the new incoming US president, as a business person, might better understand the importance of bettering the entrepreneurial climate to again lift business start-ups, and their effects on social responsibility, from what he described as being at a 40 year low.

“Social entrepreneurship is the only engine,” Caslin says.

The GCSEN Venturator is envisioned as a combination of innovation incubator resources, coworking

space for start-up ventures, cutting edge blended learning curriculum lab, and classroom.

GCSEN has teamed up in an affiliation with FALA Technologies, family-run premier American

manufacturing plant, to create a home for social entrepreneurs from across America who want to go

the full distance from concept to commercialization. At The Venturator, GCSEN helps new and

established Social Entrepreneurs who act with purpose to create triple bottom line impacts: people,

profit and planet.

This week is the first time that GCSEN has held their globally recognized High Impact Social

Entrepreneur Boot Camp in Kingston, NY, at The Venturator. It takes place during Woodstock Week,

in order to encourage the promotion and remaking of Entrepreneurial Woodstock.
