About the Website

Marc Lane has made a treasure trove of useful information about mission-driven ventures available to readers. He invites you to visit www.MarcJLane.com, where you will find a growing number of articles he's written for business, investment, legal, and tax publications on all aspects of the mission-driven venture.

The social entrepreneur's entity choice (as discussed in Chapter 2 of The Mission-Driven Venture), the features of the Benefit Corporation (Chapter 3) and the Low-Profit Limited Liability Company (Chapter 4), and the power of the Social Impact Bond (Chapter 8), among many other topics, are presented in detail.

In addition, you'll find audios and videos of recent talks he's given all over the United States, including his friendly debate with Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus (featured in Chapters 5 and 6). Professor Yunus insists that “social businesses” ought not afford their investors any opportunity to profit from their investment, a position at odds with the author's view that mission-driven ventures are well advised to offer their financial investors commercially reasonable value propositions.
