Social enterprises, while sharing similarities with traditional for-profit businesses, have a distinct focus on social and environmental improvement rather than solely maximizing financial return. They are considered somewhat rebellious in the corporate world due to their emphasis on innovation and change within society. As a social entrepreneur, your market is society itself, and the product you offer is aimed at creating positive societal impact. Social entrepreneurs combine business and social issues to improve the lives of people involved, measuring success not only by profit but also by the positive change they bring to the world. They tackle society's most pressing problems and promote social innovation in various areas such as health, agriculture, education, environment, and human rights. What sets them apart is their unique approach in pursuing these goals, utilizing entrepreneurial determination and business methods to establish financially sustainable organizations. In essence, social entrepreneurship is business with a social purpose, often referred to as altruistic entrepreneurship.

suitable for social entrepreneurs are: innovation, sustainable development, scale and social impact.
