Yunus Social Business

YSB was co founded by Peace Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus Saskia Bruysten and Sophie Eisenmann. The company was spun off from The Grameen Creative Lab (GCL) in 2011 to focus on accelerating and financing social businesses. YSB is active in seven countries where local country teams source coach and mentor entrepreneurs to build solutions from the ground up. YSB subsequently finances the most promising social businesses while also providing post investment support. In doing so YSB grows business that matter.
