The Tayside Social Enterprise Network was set up in 2007 to support social economy organisations in Tayside. As the group developed it split into Dundee, Perth and Angus in early 2010. Since then Dundee Social Enterprise Network (DSEN) has become a constituted body delivering support, and promoting and representing social enterprise in the city. They have a close working relationship with Dundee City Council and receive funding through the local Third Sector Interface, alongside match funding from the membership, to employ a part time member of staff - Susan Smith.
