Abstract: This thesis seeks to identify and examine the long-term success indicators of social entrepreneurial ventures who have operated for over ten years. Through bringing to light patterns and trends of how these ventures have overcome their obstacles, our hope is to be able to provide younger social ventures with strategies for tackling early-stage challenges and give impact investors more insights as to which start-ups are likely to succeed in the long-term.
