Have you ever wished policymakers understood what it's actually like to build an impact startup in Germany? 🤔 Us too. And thanks to the Deutscher Social Entrepreneurship Monitor (DSEM), you can show them. The Social Entrepreneurship Netzwerk Deutschland (SEND) e.V. and Value for Good GmbH are running the 2026 DSEM edition right now, and they need social enterprises across Germany to participate. At Public Value Hub, we work with impact founders through the Public Value Academy and the Social Impact Republic. We see firsthand how often the same problems come up: funding structures that don't fit, legal forms that limit growth, and a lack of data to make the case for change. The DSEM is what turns those conversations into evidence that policymakers and funders can use to help better form a system that works for us all. 🏛️ If you're a social enterprise or an impact startup: take part. The deadline is July 12th and it takes less time than before thanks to AI-assisted pre-filling. Link in the comments! 👇 #DSEM2026 #SocialEntrepreneurship #SystemChange
