A social enterprise is a profit-generating business whose social mission is expressed through the very work it does.
At Unlocked Ventures, our social enterprises are designed to introduce individuals with conviction histories to the workforce in a way that centers their humanity first. We build real businesses, run entirely by individuals with conviction histories, that are profitable precisely because the people within them know they matter, feel that they belong, and understand they will always be treated with dignity.
The business we run might package goods, prepare food, or produce something entirely ordinary. The purpose running through it is to create the conditions for a thriving life, and that is what every Unlocked Ventures social enterprise is built to provide.
