Overview

Every new idea has a "tipping point".

This is the moment when momentum for change becomes unstoppable - when an idea becomes a movement.

For the idea of Social Business to have its full economic impact, its reach must be global. People of all nationalities must be hearing about it, talking about it, and doing it.

Social Business, in short, must 'tip' - and the Y-Movement is making it happen.

The Y-Movement is a global community of people, of all ages, races and nationalities, who believe that Social Business can play a key role in tackling urgent social and environmental problems.

It is open to and needs people of all skills and backgrounds, because the Y-Movement can only succeed with a collective effort.

We need the united forces of universities, corporations, entrepreneurs, investors, media and individuals pushing to establish Social Business as a pillar of our economic system.

We need people everywhere experimenting, innovating, using their passion and creativity to make new Social Businesses that solve pressing social needs.

Most importantly, we need you, now, to get involved.

There are endless opportunities for different people and organisations to get involved in Social Business - and shape its future direction.

Social Businesses can start from the top-down or the bottom-up, from big companies or from private individuals. Don't be afraid of starting small - a thousand small Social Businesses equals a big social impact. And - who knows - perhaps you will find the next big thing, like Prof. Yunus developed microfinance starting with a mere USD 26.
