Anders Abrahamsson’s Summary
===
“There is a long way to go until the world is ‘Re:Loved’ as my personal vision reads – meaning a world where you meet your fellow human being with Love and Respect, and you can expect to be met with the same.
But even a thousand mile journey has to begin with one step, as Lao Tse suggests. Sustainopreneurship is such a step - a strong and powerful one; ‘Business with a Cause’.”

ÆREAS(i)
(Research industry)
October 2007 — Present (1 year 10 months)
With a need to organize and systematize research on sustainopreneurship beyond a list of crucial publishing now defining the concept (on Wikipedia since Oct 17, 2008), and testing its validity, together with outlining the research challenges ahead, I have taken the initiative to form an interim association for enactive research, education and application of sustainopreneurship - in short ÆREAS(i). Private invitations of founding members commencing beyond the book chapter published in mid September 2008 outlining the research challenges ahead.

Constant Learner, Oddjob Keeper, and Sometimes Even Even-jobs
Life School of the Various Experiences
(Research industry)
June 1966 — Present (43 years 2 months)
For all other stuff, contact me. Play the game "guess some work I had", or "I can tell you a job that you might not believe I had". For an entrepreneur, work is to fund the living while being on his becoming. It is not an end state to manifest a position of "career" - there is work (food over the roof and table on the head, or was it the other way around? - "chaordic", in between chaos and order...) and there is "business" - buzyness to realize your dream. Oddjobs more than I can count ;). And I use them for insights as well. Everything is researchable :).

Co-founder, Resident DJ, A&R, Bookings, PR/Marketing
Club2Club
(Music industry)
February 2008 — July 2009 (1 year 6 months)
In May 9th, 2008, the Club Concept and Community Club2Club had the première night, with Guest DJ's Manuel le Saux (IT) and Cliff Coenraad (NL). I started the club concept together with Johannes Fredheim (Drifter Design), with some development work initiated February 2008. I was resident DJ together with Fred Acler (SE). The bookings and A&R function was done with advisory Jimmy Persson (Manager, Icon Management). We had a second event, where we extended the resident rooster with one, Zendorion. The parties were great, but the financial result was at a loss, so we decided to archive the club concept. I now work with a [no_name] club concept together with NEMCOM, Norrköping Electronic Music Community.

CXO - Chief Explorative Officer
Ignition® (and Ignition Communications AB in becoming)
(Privately Held; Marketing and Advertising industry)
January 2006 — May 2009 (3 years 5 months)
Our intention was to formalize a Ltd. company, Ignition Communications AB, a spinoff from On a Mission Sweden (the sustainability innovation incubator). I was responsible for research/branding/networking/business development - in short deep exploration. The idea is at rest and eventually will pick up beyond book writing of Sustainopreneurship - Business with a Cause.

Content, Concept and Portfolio Strategy Developer
SEEDS Innovation Fund
(Venture Capital & Private Equity industry)
February 2001 — April 2009 (8 years 3 months)
One of the key driving forces of all my activities has been to increase the funds to get leverage, proliferation, diffusion and empowerment to Sustainability Innovations towards full-fledged Sustainability Enterprises, read full story in my Master Thesis (search Google Scholar http://scholar.google.com on 'sustainopreneurship'). The brand name (what is attached beyond the "SEEDS" acronym) has shifted through the years, but the basic idea is the same. SEEDS as an acronym stands for Strengthening of Health, Education, Entrepreneurship, Digital Unification and Sustainable Distributed Energy. With the final publishing of a submitted book chapter to a book on ecopreneurs in India expected publishing summer of 2009, the development strategy core element has been regarded to be finished. Deployment beyond the book writing of "Sustianopreneurship - Business with a Cause".
Financial means from all my ventures I participate in will fuel the SEEDS Innovation Fund in the future, see website.

Category Leader for Sustainability Entrepreneurship
Ki-work
(Outsourcing/Offshoring industry)
July 2008 — March 2009 (9 months)
I first got appointed as a lease holder for the business category Business Consulting > Social Enterprise over at Ki-work in July, the virtual work outsourcing platform - revolutionizing online work! On Ki-work you COLLABORATE with people you can trust, COMPETE to win work globally and CONTROL your online business. Beyond that, it was more close to my expertise to actually establish a new business category named Sustainability Entrepreneurship - more niche, more deep. It was a try-out to have my services supporting sustainopreneurs marketed there, but with the general strategic change of Ki-work towards supporting corporates in transition towards agile organizations it deviated from my focus on sustainability innovators and entrepreneurs - i. e. startups, and only remain there with passive profiles.

Freelance Researcher
Växjö University
(Educational Institution; 501-1000 employees; Higher Education industry)
May 2007 — October 2008 (1 year 6 months)
My formal senior studies led to an MSc BA, with Master Thesis "Sustainopreneurship - Business with a Cause: Conceptualizing Entrepreneurship for Sustainability". A sequel was a paper presented at ISDRS, International Sustainable Development Research Society 13th Conf in June, 2007 in Mälardalen University, Västerås, Sweden, outlining prospective further research on sustainopreneurship, which went through heavy editing and peer-review to be included as a book chapter in a book published 15 September 2008 from FSF. Beyond publishing, I am currently seeking an appropriate environment to pursue a PhD on Sustainopreneurship - now published as a Wikipedia Article after this process, ready for next level.

Local Economy - Research Network Fellow
Universities in Sweden
(Research industry)
October 2004 — November 2006 (2 years 2 months)
I was a part of a network with ~15 Swedish researchers. Emerging meta-question is "local economy as a proactive solution for sustainable development".
I brought my core issue "Sustainablity Innovations" there, systematically scouting to fill the toolbox to solve problems related to poverty eradication and climate change - tools facilitating Strengthening of health, Entrepreneurship, Education, Digital unification and Sustainable distributed energy.
People first, then technology, then financial resources, in that order – i. e. micro-finance with a sustainability cause!
Three core concepts:
* Sustainability (Deep/Holistic)
* Innovation
* Entrepreneurship
I. e. - Sustainopreneurship.
My first research, defining sustainopreneurship, published through "Science for Sustainable Development", conference proceedings was published in September 2006.

Agent for Swedish Market
eco6 | Economie 06 Event - SRI/CR
(Venture Capital & Private Equity industry)
October 2005 — October 2006 (1 year 1 month)
I was an agent for eco6 - http://www.eco6.co.uk - for the Swedish Market; an event focusing SRI/CR, where the Investment Management/Financial Market issue of Socially Responsible Investment and its evident links to Corporate Responsibility upgrades its professionalism. At the Financial Hub of Zürich, Oct 9-10, 2006, internationally well-known keynotes made the general attraction.
I was primarily in this context to strengthen focus for the most Proactive SRI - investing in sustainable innovations and business ideas/models - Sustainability Venture Capital, and hosted a breakout session on this topic. -
Coordinating Networking Organizer
S*E*N*S*A
(Professional Training & Coaching industry)
August 2005 — September 2006 (1 year 2 months)
During this period I prepared and branded this concept and idea, but this idea has been retwisted, refocused and revamped to suit more research than networking needs through iÆREAS.
S*E*N*S*A means
[SUSTAINABILITY] * [ENTREPRENEURSHIP] * [NETWORKING] * [SUPPORT] * [ASSOCIATION]
This association had the intention and purpose to amplify and accelerate existing sustainopreneurial ventures in survival, emerging and developed economies globally in inter-local and multi-local activities. Instead of multiplying the works associated to the association, it was meant to have replications of good practices to be done, with culturally adapted franchises.
It was intended that the synergy and leverage that came from unifying the existing initiatives should increase the power of the associated processes by coming together and collectively and collaboratively share experiences and energy in a plus-sum game. -
Brand Consultant - Networking Support
Ignition™ - An On a Mission Fashion Brand
(Apparel & Fashion industry)
April 2005 — January 2006 (10 months)
After Brand Consultancy (see earlier position and endorsement below - Sustainablity Profile Clothings brand Ignition™), with CEO Rikard Jansson as the coordinator of the Sustainable Business build-up, with final step deciding the Logotype - designed by Johan Jonasson, Visualizer of Complexity - a new phase in the brand development was introduced in May, 2005.
I helped CEO Rikard Jansson in this phase with networking to strengthen the brand with content listing candidates for our first "brand holders" with first campaign clients to source from us.
It is an open transparent brand system where our true value is defined by every relation we tap into, thus the sensitivity in this process and linking in with first pioneer orders. Primary dialogue partner in support to CEO Rikard Jansson writing the business plan for external financing for the greater launch of the brand webshop during the course of 2006 when financing secured.

February 2005 — October 2005 (9 months)
After winning the first year of SIFE Sweden 2004 - see Honours and awards section - the summer of 2005, not being a participant in the competition this year, I got the assignment to support and coach the Stockholm School of Economics as the winning team in Swedish SIFE competition that took place in June. This includes to prepare them for what to come when presenting their winning case for the SIFE World Cup in Toronto, this Fall - October 2005. The winning case was Rinkeby Business Lab - to support Young Entrepreneurs in a marginalized immigrant dense Stockholm suburb on the primary school level - where mentors come from Stockholm School of Economics. In short - a typical Social Entrepreneurship project. One of two Pro Bono assignments during 2005.
SIFE is an international Non-Profit organization with 1700+ universities in almost 50 nations worldwide represented.

Disruptive Mice
(Internet industry)
January 2005 — July 2005 (7 months)
Following an Idea fired up during the Medinge Winter Retreat (chaired by World Brand Expert Chris Macrae in January 2005) with Friends Ed Daniel and Lilly Evans, the DM community went live April, 2005, collecting proactive forces for sustainability.
E. g. microfinance is one example. It is an application of the concept Sustainability Innovation, where microfinance is an innovation for sustainability, with the sustainability problem it helps solving is poverty - with a list of maybe 15 core sustainability problems, e. g. climate change, illiteracy, health issues like hunger/water/obesity/HIV/AIDS all reinforcing poverty in vicious circles.
I seized the moderator job in July 2005, and site closed Jan 2006. This virtual community of practice failed to meet its goals, and I take the lessons of this to make it better out with ÆREAS build up. One of the core lessons is that the team operating it should not do it Pro Bono. -
Brand Consultant - Development
Ignition™ - an On a Mission Fashion Brand
(Apparel & Fashion industry)
May 2004 — April 2005 (1 year)
In the last phase of the Research and Development process of the On a Mission Concept, finalized when I ended my chairmanship end of April, 2004, the intense work of launching our first campaign started, and finding both Brand Name and Logo Design. The result one year later is the Sustainablity Profile Clothings brand Ignition™, with CEO Rikard Jansson as the coordinator of the Sustainable Brand/Trade build-up.
I supported him with sustainability branding development.

Running a private-research based business with information brokerage, lecturing, advice and consultancy, regards factors driving relationship loyalty, and effects of high retention levels in key business relations. Focus areas TQM, environmental, social, ethical and working conditions management. Editor of a monthly PDF-based newsletter.
During this time a number of syncronistically appearing 'Sustainability Innovations' were identified, in what I name the 'R' pt I period in the total R&D process to what is now institutionalized as OAM Uganda/Sweden.

Anders Abrahamsson’s Education
-
Växjö universitet
Master of Science in Business Adminstration , Entrepreneurship and Business Development , 2000 — 2007
I had a prolonged field study to support the On a Mission Business Startup 2001-02, as well as starting the Swedish counterpart full-time when coming back as working chairman of the board 2002-04, and also co-develop the Brand Ignition™/® and concrete offering of the venture beyond the chairmanship - with activity as set above. Thus the "registration-only" status of my senior university studies most of the time, until the point where I used the OAM Concept, SEEDS Sustainability Investment Fund, SEEDS Magazine, Club PuLS, DJ Anders, S*E*N*S*A, Ignition™ and SLICE Brands as eight interlinked case studies for the Master Thesis published May 2007, getting my degree. The Business Plan and the recruitment of our first external client was the last part of the empirical material of the Thesis, preparing for the launch in 2007 now with end of formal studies.
--- Activities and Societies:
- Various NGO activities - Växjö UN Association as webmaster and promotional designer, local coordinator of "EkoAktiv" - Swedish Ecodemics affiliation locally and students-for-sustainability association - member of election committee of Swedish Ecodemics several rounds to head-hunt and prepare for national board - www.svenskaekodemiker.se.
-
Chalmers tekniska högskola
aBSc , Industrial Engineering and Management - Industrial/B2B Marketing and Strategy , 1989 — 1996
"aBSc" stands for "almost Bachelor of Science". I dropped out since it was too focused on "Big Business as Usual", and retrospectively my home really was set into "Small Business as Unusual - Thinking Big". In other words entrepreneurial rather than corporate.
--- Activities and Societies:
- Sample of two:
Member of committee "I-ARMAR": Founder/designer/chief editor of a publication reaching all students at IEM, bridging and matchmaking them to the labour market.
Conducting also a well-attended full day seminar on Entrepreneurship (second biggest lecture hall at Chalmers), in cooperation with the faculty 1994. An instant poll showed that less than 10 was aiming to start a company after studies out of maybe 300. "Aiming for Employability" is a strong Swedish cultural paradigm!
