Summary: <p> Not long ago a group of business professionals got together to discuss a new way of investing. They called it Venture Philanthropy. Social Venture Partners (SVP) was created out of this idea. The group leverages their collective expertise, creativity, time, and financial resources to develop and support promising social initiatives and nonprofits that will have a measurable, sustainable, and positive impact in greater Charlotte. To create interest and incentive, Social Venture Partners started a contest called SEED20 and some of the ideas that have grown out of the contest are astounding. We'll learn more about Venture Philanthropy and hear from contest winners when Charlotte Talks.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>Guests</strong><br><strong>Steve Sellers</strong> - Partner, <a href="http://www.svpcharlotte.org/www">Social Venture Partners</a> and Lead Partner with the SEED20 Initiative<br><strong>Susan</strong><strong> Daniel </strong>- Executive Director, <a href="http://www.svpcharlotte.org/www">Social Venture Partners</a><br><strong>Jennifer Davis-Martin</strong> - SEED20 Coach and member of the SEED20 Steering Committee<br><strong>Robin Emmons</strong> - Winner, SEED20 finalist and Executive Director of <a href="http://sowmuchgood.org/">Sow Much Good</a></p>
