Founder Update:
After four years of conferences, campaigns and community – SeCo is no longer operating as a society or organisation. Thank you for being part of creating this conscious community. For social enterprise opportunites we recommend subscribing to Jay Booklin’s Social Change Central. I’ve now moved on to working with Deakin University full time spearheading SPARK Deakin, the university’s entrepreneurial program where we’ve embedded the same spirit of purpose driven community. We reserve one place for a social enterprise in our accelerator (up to $10 000 funding) and in 2019 funded three for purpose enterprises. You can learn more here. If you’re setting up a social enterprise, Melbourne is a fantastic place to do so with a thriving community. Feel free to reach out or say hello. Thank you for being part of the journey, Daizy
