business models

ZeroDivide’s grantee MicroMentor, an initiative of Mercy Corps that connects on-line business mentors to burgeoning entrepreneurs, was featured yesterday on KGO-TV business news with Eric Thomas.

We invited the team from The Blink Tank, a social venture founded to jumpstart business models for organizations in the social sector, to meet with a few of our grantees today. Of particular interest is Mission Ad Works which is their socially responsible web advertising services business. Structured much like other businesses such as Federated Media, Mission Ad Works has a socially responsible filter on both the advertiser as well as the media partner.
