It Takes Friends to Foster a
Redemptive Social Enterprise Community
We know that launching a redemptive social enterprise is hard work. It not only requires dedication, perseverance, resilience, and a little luck, but it also requires a supportive start-up community to journey with.
That’s why we have been working hard to foster meaningful relationships with other like-minded ecosystem builders who are also passionate about helping social entrepreneurs launch and scale ventures that are developing products/services that the world needs while at the same time are addressing complex social issues.
Our collaboration and investor partners are diverse and each offer unique ways of assisting entrepreneurs and their ventures such as start-up capital, entrepreneur scholarships and venture grants.*
