Social entrepreneurship as means to mitigate and resolve social problems by implementing sustainable business models has great potential in Russia. There is a growing number of self-motivated, entrepreneurial and socially aware people who want to change the status quo and are ready for entrepreneurship “with a purpose”. Are social entrepreneurs dreamers or realists? Is it possible to build a sustainable business and simultaneously address problems of society? What opportunities should not be missed and what mistakes should be avoided in social entrepreneurship?
