A number of companies in Northeast Ohio are looking to do more than make a profit. These "social entreprises" have the goal of solving a community problem or changing attitudes. An area organization called SEA Change coaches such businesses and is sponsoring a contest that will result in $50,000 in funding for the winner. Eight companies will be making their business plan pitches to judges at a Monday night event in the Idea Center's Westfield studios.
