Our Story
It started with a casual conversation over drinks where the five of us lamented about the lack of a committed, well-rounded group willing to endeavour with social entrepreneurs. Because social venture building is hard, it is essential to have people with the right technical skills in order to help navigate the myriad of daily business challenges; who care enough not only to listen, but understand the original venture purpose, helping to channel the right resources and truly bringing lasting impact to the community.
We decided to leverage our current advantage - to be selective on who we work with to provide the latest and greatest practices in different areas of work, ranging from design thinking, operations, sales and HR business building to any other required areas in an effort to tailor to the specific social enterprise.
Alongside ourselves, we assure to provide the wealth of a technical and business expert network, allowing the enterprises themselves and investors to reap the benefits provided by such a vast and complete network.
