ABSTRACT
Entrepreneurship and, by extension, multipreneurship have the capacity to raise economies in ways that do not have to result in the destruction of others. Having more people express entrepreneurial potential is an issue of scaling up the phenomenon and increasing the supply of entrepreneurs. One has two choices to follow in that direction: scale up and/or scale out. Scaling-up is a multiplicative approach that implies a central control. Scaling-out, on the other hand, implies a more distributed approach, where one replicates a process through multiple approaches and in different situations. The growth of ethnic populations in Western societies brought with it a wave of entrepreneurial activity by immigrants. Social entrepreneurship (SE) refers to the formation of enterprises whose purpose is to solve a pressing and insurmountable social problem. The process of the formation of social enterprises starts with the individual who initiates and manages the start-up creation process.
