Her Work Passion: To Create Tools for Transparency in the Field of Business with Multiple Bottom Lines

Samantha is now in the R&D stage of building a business model which will be a kind of "Bloomberg-esque/CSFB-Tremont Hedge Index" type of entity to give shape and scope on the multiple impacts of social entrepreneurs' efforts for investors and philanthropists. Metrics and hard criteria for assessing performance are deeply missing from the social enterprise sector-- and this sort of conduit of information could provide tremendous transparency to build trust and credibility for investors and philanthropists, and has the potential to generate greater capital flow in the social entrepreneurial marketplace. She is very interested to network with others who are interested in thinking through this complex objective.
