Making people and ideas findable
Does Indiana have any rock star social entrepreneurs?
Because it is understaffed, or because social entrepreneurs are very hard to find, BusinessWeek is launching on February 20 its inaugural search for the most promising social entrepreneurs in the U.S. The magazine is looking for nominations from people like you...BW wants to find companies that aim to both turn a profit and solve social problems.
They are specifically looking for for-profit companies based in the U.S. that are tackling social problems in new and innovative ways here or abroad. You can visit BW to nominate a company, but please do us a favor and tell us about them too. It woudl be really cool if an Indiana firm got a feature story in BW, eh?
But as much as that feature story is a longshoe, if you know of any cool social entrepreneurs here in Indiana, please tell us about them here.

I think Ben McCann is a good example of a social entrepreneur, with both Catalist Financial and Catalist Jobs.
