The article proves the need to develop social entrepreneurship in Russia. The author states a contradiction that needs resolution: in a country with so many social problems, this type of activity is practically not developed. We see the cause in hard-to-reach balance of social goal and profit: things are affected by the lack of financial resources due to the tax rate, insurance cost and bureaucratization of all processes. The author thinks that it is strategically important to develop projects of social entrepreneurship in university environment, since it is the cradle of the future. At University you should learn to face obstacles. These Universities could serve for social start-ups as business incubators. This is especially important for regional universities, whose mission is entrepreneurship. The article suggests measures that the university is able to undertake to support social entrepreneurship on its territory. The most important measure is the creation of a model of entrepreneurial institution with an organizational structure of the matrix type.
