Abstract
Startup enterprises are essentially profit-oriented enterprises. These days, in addition to profitoriented production and non-profit organisational forms, the emergence of a new kind of enterprise can be observed: the rise of social startup enterprises. These are profit-oriented companies but, besides wanting to gain profit and navigate successfully in the business world, they also want to meet certain social challenges and fill various social needs. Many studies deal with startups and social enterprises, but the specific area of social startups is a less explored field. The present study aims to explore successful social startups in Hungary; their features, the programmes supporting them and the competition among them. The study concludes with the examination of two examples of social startups and features two internationally-prestigious companies exposing the multilayered nature of social startup activities.
