Next Generation Leaders

SVN's Bridge Project is a comprehensive initiative to support the next generation of world-changing entrepreneurs -- leaders who are leveraging the power of business to solve some of the world's most pressing social and environmental problems.


Social Venture Network launched The Bridge Project to identify, support and promote many of the world's brightest and most innovative entrepreneurs from under-represented groups such as people of color, women and young people, as well as from under-represented geographic areas.
