Over the past five years, Kathleen Kelly Janus has traveled the country interviewing the founders, leadership teams, and funders of social entrepreneurs, both newcomers and veterans in the field, including the leaders of Teach for America, City Year, DonorsChoose and charity:water. Her book, Social Startup Success: How the Best Nonprofits Launch, Scale Up and Make a Difference, features her findings from that study, detailing best practices for testing ideas, measuring impact, funding experimentation, leading collectively and storytelling with purpose. Social Startup Success is a social entrepreneurship’s essential playbook; the first definitive guide to solving the problem of nonprofit scale.

Kathleen will share the wisdom she gleaned from the 100+ interviews she conducted with nonprofit and entrepreneurial leaders, as well as new insights regarding the invisible barriers to capital that can make it difficult for nonprofits to secure the funding they need and deserve.
