To address existing and upcoming global challenges
We believe that each of us is born with great potential that, when unleashed, has a big impact on us as people and on our society.
Due to non-existing infrastructure, lack of access to education, missing tools and unavailable basic needs, a large part of humanity is not able to unleash their potential.
We want to facilitate change within communities in developing countries, because we believe that to address existing global challenges such as climate change, pandemics, or wars, we must harness the full resources of humanity by unleashing the potential of each individual.
Identify Local Problems
Action bias can lead us to assume that it’s better to do anything rather than nothing. In our School of Impact Academy, you will learn how to rigorously identify real local problems. Rigorous problem-identification pivots our focus to the root causes rather than just the presenting symptoms so that we can avoid band-aid solutions.
Build a Scalable Business
Building a strong team is the foundation for success, as the employees are the backbone of a business. We will help you find exceptional co-founders, build up new business knowledge, entrepreneurial skills, attitudes, and worldviews that enable you to design, develop, and launch your own business.
Join our Global Network
Our global community of founders, mentors, investors, experts, and partner organizations is already making a difference in sustainability, entrepreneurship, and technology, and will help you do the same – whether it’s helping you get to market or expand efficiently into a new region.
