This is a report on the first pass at "crosswalking" two prominent sets of indicators used by social entrepreneurs worldwide: IRIS, and the Sustainable Development Goals. This was conducted by the Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship in spring of 2016, and presented at the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs conference in June 2016.
