Global Social Venture Competition

Many Partners. One Mission.

In an unprecedented collaboration, the Global Social Venture Competition is organized by the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley in partnership with five Regional Partner Schools:

• Columbia Business School
• London Business School
• Indian School of Business
• Thammasat University, Thailand
• ESSEC Business School, France

GSVC Regional Partner schools host and run GSVC regional competitions and events, sending their top teams to compete at the Global Finals at UC Berkeley each April. 

The GSVC is also supported by several Outreach Partners, who host a local or regional executive summary or full business plan judging round and send their finalist teams directly to a Regional Partner school round.  Our Outreach Partners:

• Yale School of Management
• Social Venture Competition Korea
• ALTIS Program, Business and Society, Catholic University, Milan, Italy
• Guanghua School of Management, University of Peking, China

Together, these institutions build upon their respective networks comprising of global business leaders, academics, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs to achieve their vision: changing the way business measures success.
