Social businesses differ from conventional businesses in that they do not aim to maximize profits, but rather have a goal of addressing a social problem. Those wishing to startup social enterprises can look to incubators and accelerators for support.
Incubators support startups with no business models or direction in the beginning stages of development, while accelerators support established startups with business models already in place by building on startup foundations and placing them in touch with key resources to grow.
