Those themes weren’t covered very much in the session (to be fair, we were just touching on those topics when time ran out). But one important concession from Gregory Dees was that social enterprises will generally leave some people without the ability to pay for the good/service. Social entrepreneurs who are very successful can subsidize those costs for the poorest of the poor, or rely on partners to subsidize those costs. But it's a limitation all the same. one thing I didn’t cover too much in the guest post was the limitations of social entrepreneurship and social enterprise.
