CASE Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship

What is SEAD? In 2012, Hillary Clinton announced that CASE and Duke were awarded a $10 million contract from USAID to help scale and capitalize global health social ventures around the world. The Social Entrepreneurship Accelerator at Duke, now in its retrospective stage, was a major initiative of CASE and included in-depth coaching and consulting by CASE faculty, staff and students with global health social entrepreneurs aiming to scale their impact.
