A social enterprise operates differently than a typical company because profit-maximization is not the only motivation.  You are invited to hear out-of-the-box entrepreneurs and leaders who are successfully blending the power of the marketplace with the passion of purpose to improve their communities.  Read our event summary for more information on speakers and schedule. \n [gravityform id=”6″ title=”true” description=”true”] URL:https://venturecall.com/event/the-enterprise-exchange-luncheon/ ORGANIZER;CN="Venture%20Call%2C%20LLC.":MAILTO:mike@venturecall.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20180813T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20180813T130000 DTSTAMP:20260410T001859 CREATED:20180716T010056Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180716T010116Z UID:1496-1534161600-1534165200@venturecall.com SUMMARY:ABILENE STARTUP COMMUNITY LUNCH DESCRIPTION:NO LUNCH TODAY\nhttps://venturecall.com/event-summary/ URL:https://venturecall.com/event/abilene-startup-community-lunch-90/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20180806T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20180806T130000 DTSTAMP:20260410T001859 CREATED:20180716T005812Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180716T005812Z UID:1494-1533556800-1533560400@venturecall.com SUMMARY:ABILENE STARTUP COMMUNITY LUNCH DESCRIPTION: URL:https://venturecall.com/event/abilene-startup-community-lunch-89/ ORGANIZER;CN="Venture%20Call%2C%20LLC.":MAILTO:mike@venturecall.com END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
