As you might imagine, the competition to join our second annual list of 30 Under 30 Social Entrepreneurs was incredibly tough. To arrive at the final list, my colleague Prerna Sinha and I collected and reviewed more than 100 applications. Next the candidates went before our distinguished judges: Jeff Skoll, the philanthropist and social entrepreneur; Cheryl Dorsey, the doctor who runs social venture fund Echoing Green; and Randall Lane, Editor-in-Chief of FORBES and the chief force behind our magazine’s increased focus on philanthropy.
We hope you find this group as inspiring as we do…
