YSB's goal is to sustainably solve social problems through supporting and fostering the establishment of social businesses worldwide that have a specific focus on vulnerable and underserved communities. YSB pursues this goal from the bottom-up through local social business funds that provide patient and flexible debt financing as well as hands-on growth support to local social businesses. YSB also works from the top-down to guide multinationals to apply their core competencies to some of the greatest human challenges through the power of social business.
