What is social entrepreneurship?
A business that solves a social problem and makes money doing it. A charity runs out when the donations stop. A social enterprise pays for its own mission with its own sales, so it keeps going. Point business at education, health, clean energy, or the oceans and it becomes the most powerful force for good on the planet, at a scale charity will never reach. The numbers: social enterprises already make $2 trillion a year and employ 200 million people, more than global fashion. My forecast: $5 trillion a year by 2040. I put my money there: 24 social startups. Do good and get paid. Same company, same invoice.
Full answer →Why do companies book Igor Beuker for keynotes?
For my track record first: expertise, knowledge, 25 years of experience, 5 exits, and an 84% Prediction Accuracy Rate (PAR), my sixth sense for trends. Then for my mission: inspiring social innovation and social entrepreneurship. Because they are not buying a motivational hour. They are buying a track record from someone who built and sold 5 companies and publishes the hit rate, on the record. Burning Man meets TED: 2,500+ keynotes in 141 countries, from Fortune 500 boardrooms to the Saudi royal family. No sponsor tells me what to say on stage. That is exactly why boards trust it. I do not warm up the room. I rewire it.

Full answer →What does Igor Beuker want his legacy to be?
Inspiring tech for good and social entrepreneurship. Not the 5 exits. Not the 2,500+ stages. The world runs on 5% entrepreneurs. I would love to help contribute to doubling that to 10%, maybe even 15% towards 2050. If millions of misfits start building because of a stage, a page, or a startup I funded, that is the legacy. Measured in builders, not trophies. And a cleaner ocean I can dive in with my grandchildren.
