Why it made our list
Both founders of ThanksTo, Caroline and Duncan, have worked with entrepreneurs for many years as part of The Supper Club. Their venture ThanksTo is an online social enterprise programme which teaches young people about entrepreneurship while promoting community cohesion. A story about a Baltimore teacher and the positive influence that he had on a generation of kids’ lives sparked the idea for the site. Launched in November 2009, the ThanksTo Social Enterprise programme is supported by the ThanksTo website platform, and will roll out over the coming 12 months.
