One year ago, we published the first version of this report and built a framework to measure social enterprise ecosystems in the United States. We sent out surveys and heard from almost 400 social entrepreneurs. We then distilled four pillars as the framework for a social enterprise ecosystem: funding, human capital, quality of life, and regulation and receptivity.
