Case Study Session with Professor Barry Merkin

Building a Social Venture at Kellogg: The One Acre Fund
When Bill Gates recently spoke about transforming agriculture in the developing world to end extreme hunger and poverty, one social entrepreneur was already on the case. Andrew Youn ’06, while a student at Kellogg, in 2005 created the non-profit One Acre Fund for Kenya in the Entrepreneurship and New Ventures class.
The program now serves 2,000 families with the 3 year goal of 30,000 families while farm income has increased by 100%, with a repayment rate of 97%. Youn believes that this success would not have been possible without the invaluable help of the Kellogg community.
Today, the One Acre Fund has come full circle as the subject of a case study taught to Kellogg entrepreneurship students. Professor Merkin will discuss the One Acre Fund, focusing on the intersection between MBA classroom learning and real world social entrepreneurship.
