Our pedagogy will help your employees overcome the initial and natural “impostor’s syndrom” and guide them in a structured way throughout the program, from supporting the entrepreneur they matched with in the development of their value proposition all the way to defining their growth plan. All while your employees develop their soft and hard skills, and train their own entrepreneurial muscle.
The program design is tailored to your specific organization’s context. Whether you’d like to increase your employees engagement, boost leadership and entrepreneurial skills or directly support the SDGs we’ll co-create the program with you from A to Z and co-manage it with you. Our structured process ensures they are accountable to the program and that you get results.

Dive inside a purpose-driven entrepreneurship program
After meeting at One Young World in 2018, a few super motivated BMW employees set out to create a mentoring program themselves to support global changemakers. Together we selected ~20 top BMW employees, trained them to become mentors and help them develop new innovation skills, a more agile mindset, and of course contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
