In the changing world of modern entrepreneurship, a new idea is taking hold. This idea goes beyond making money and dominating the market. It focuses on a deeper goal: redemptive entrepreneurship. Redemptive Entrepreneurship prioritizes impact. Social impact becomes the bottom line as opposed to finances. While you might immediately think of a non-profit, this isn’t necessarily the case. There are plenty of for-profit redemptive buisiness and today we’ll look at why redemptive entrepreneurship matters.
What is Redemptive Entrepreneurship?
Redemptive entrepreneurship uses business to solve social and environmental problems. Its goal is to use business as a mission. Whether that mission is to reduce poverty, promote equality, or support a community it’s motivated by people, not profit.

In a world with many challenges, redemptive entrepreneurship offers hope. By combining the best of business and social impact, these entrepreneurs are changing the focus of business. As we move forward, we should support the growth of redemptive entrepreneurship. It can be a powerful force for a brighter and more sustainable future.
That was a lot of good insight on redemptive entrepreneurship! I feel like the redemptive model has really changed a lot about business. When people think about business they usually just think about the profits and financials that go along with it. They try to think about what can make the most money. They don’t initially think about the good that the business can bring. I find that what the business brings to the table and what impact they have to be the most important part of a business. Why have a business if you can’t make a change.
