Elisa BirnbaumBill Young is not your momma’s chartered accountant. For one thing, he’s funny. For another, he actually jumped that ship early, spending 20 years in the private sector at the helm of highly successful entrepreneurial organizations. In 2001, he decided to do something completely different. Setting out to prove that market forces can effect social change, that hybrid businesses - boasting social and financial missions - can provide employment opportunities for people facing barriers, he started Social Capital Partners.
