Purpose-Led, Not-for-Profit, or Social Enterprise? Lessons from an award-winning founder

January 28 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Many founders and small business owners feel a strong pull to create work that delivers social or community impact, but are unsure which model will best support that vision. The choice between a purpose-led business, a social enterprise, or a not-for-profit organisation can feel confusing and high stakes, particularly when you are just getting started and do not yet have all the answers.

In this webinar, award-winning founder Rae Knopik will unpack the differences between these three pathways in clear, down-to-earth language. You will explore how each model operates in practice, including how it is funded, governed and sustained over time. Rae will share a simple decision framework that helps you match structure to your mission, capacity and appetite for risk, so you can move forward with greater confidence.

The session also looks at what to focus on in the first ninety days once you have chosen a direction. You will leave with practical guidance on what to validate in the market, which foundations to set up early, and which decisions can safely wait. This is an ideal session for aspiring and early-stage founders who want to build impact on the right footing from the start.
