AB - In the past few decades a new way of responding to social and environmental problems has emerge: the
social entrepreneurship. It is presented as a special type of venture, in which the creation of social value
prevails over the maximization of profits. Thus, the main objective of these type of venture is to serve
the community and to search for a positive social change. In this chapter, in addition to presenting the
concept of social entrepreneurship within the so-called third sector and its various approaches, the main
legal forms are also presented, from the cooperatives to the newest initiatives carried out in different
countries. Likewise, the different sources of funding that can used by social entrepreneurs, especially
business angels and crowdfunding, are detailed. Finally, new trends such as the bottom of the pyramid
and the positive social change are addressed within social entrepreneurship.
