Ashoka has been a favorite organization of mine for over 10 years.  Yet most people still do not have a clue what the heck social entrepreneurs even do.

In support of social entrepreneurs `Ashoka`_ at the end a rigorous interview process provides the *fellow* three years wages at $50,000 a year to allow them time to build their enterprise.  

Enter `Draper Richards`_

It is my understanding that they do much the same thing, only they provide the SE's with $100,000 in annual wages.

Hmmmmm.

Perhaps creating competition in finding and supporting the best players in the social entrepreneur arena?

S'okay by me.
