SOCAP Open FAQs

Think Big, Start Small.

Helena Hounsel, New Story Charity


How do you turn an idea into a big impact? Socially minded entrepreneurs and investors have great aspirations, but they face the overwhelming problem of figuring out how to start. What’s the common theme among those who create social change? They think big, but start small. Every audaciously big goal has actionable small steps that are the real key to making things happen.
