Gaby commented on the article |Mass feeding is such a vile term.
Imagine if a kind-hearted restaurant owner could offer their premises on a Sunday morning. Most places only open from 12 onwards for lunch and evening meals, so it wouldn't eat into their opening hours. I'm sure someone will come up with a clever way to get around this ordinance. -
Gaby commented on the article |Perhaps this shows some of the grit required to make it on your own? Entrepreneurship can prove to be a strong source of income, and true entrepreneurs will probably have worked their way through uni with crackpot business plans and money-making schemes, learning along the way. With a past like this, would a true entrepreneur really want a fellowship? Surely they'd rather look for sponsorship or rally public support rather than becoming a mouthpiece for another organisation's ideas - and profits?

I'm going to take issue with your comment about recent graduates. Entrepreneurship isn't about finding a position in a company; it's about taking that passion (which is so concentrated and determined in kids who are fresh out of uni) and using it to drive towards something you wholeheartedly believe in. It's not always down to companies to recognise and foster new talent; graduates can cultivate it themselves, through their own innovation and determination.
That said, there's a girl called Cate Trotter who's started up a greenspotting enterprise, who's managed to get the backing of Timberland - and anyone else who wants to support her - through the Changents programme: http://www.changents.com/earthkeepers
It no longer falls to an individual company to support entrepreneurs; if the public gets behind ideas and shows its support, that's when social entrepreneurship becomes truly social.
