Who We Help
We partner with organizations that support established and growing enterprises that are navigating the complexity, risk, and opportunity that come with scale.
Our work supports organizations that design, fund, or deliver leadership and enterprise development initiatives, including:
-
Business Support Organizations (BSOs), entrepreneurship hubs, and accelerators seeking structured, practical programs that strengthen leadership, decision-making, and execution capability among the businesses they serve.
-
Public sector bodies and development agencies implementing entrepreneurship, SME, workforce, or private-sector development initiatives and requiring credible delivery partners with real-world experience.
-
Banks, financial institutions, and corporations that invest in capability-building initiatives to grow, professionalize, and de-risk their SME portfolios, value chains, or leadership pipelines.
We work primarily through institutions and programs—less directly with individual entrepreneurs—to build capability at scale and deliver durable results.
