SVN was started by a few visionary "dough nuts" (rich hippies), who wanted to use their wealth to make revolutionary stuff happen. It has attracted a mix of successful social entrepreneurs over the years including Ben and Jerry and Virgin's Sir Richard Branson, as well as the late Anita Roddick of The Body Shop. Increasingly there has been a surge of new members representing youth and people of color who are adding richness and capacity to this cultural phenomenon. President Obama certainly would have been welcome at the Social Venture Network's recent 25th anniversary conference, but, some of SVN's younger social entrepreneurs might have stolen some of his fire. For example, Tom Szaky of TerraCycle showed this video as part of his impressive talk. Tom has applied Princetonian cleverness with youthful enthusiasm to reinvent waste streams as product development streams globally. Can this kind of innovation be the legacy of the president's next four years?
