For profit solutions to social problems. Yes they can exist and they might even work better than non-profit solutions. I've always had my reservations about the effectiveness/efficiency about non-profits as they lack the ability to build capacity and capital in the same way that for-profit businesses do.
It seems like Penn students are getting into the "do business, responsibly!" crowd as well. Some students are trying to start up a Social Entrepreneurship Minor here, and there was just a Social Entrepreneurship Conference here last week.
