What We Do
Our activities focus on strengthening organisations and programmes that allow entrepreneurs to develop knowledge and skills, start a new business, or grow an existing one; and strengthening communities to have more supportive environments for entrepreneurs, including policies and practice.
This is done by connecting entrepreneurs and advocates to policymakers so they can educate them about why entrepreneurship matters and how to support it; championing a community-focused model of economic development, focused on the entrepreneur, with the help of ecosystem builders; providing opportunities for aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs to learn how to start and grow their businesses; building more access to capital for entrepreneurs, creating knowledge and actionable guidance for decision-makers; and helping entrepreneur support organisations build programs that serve entrepreneurs.
Why We Exist
Whether you’re looking to start up, grow your existing business, or wish to scale your company, we can help. Keep in mind that our main objective is to help businesses grow to the point where they need to hire employees in order to continue operating and growing.
With that being said, not every business is designed to create these types of jobs, nor does every business owner want to hire and manage employees. Therefore, companies seeking to enrol in our program must demonstrate their growth potential to us through our online application.
Only scalable businesses are eligible to receive our assistance. For those who qualify, we also take into account your willingness to engage in the programme and accept feedback.
