Changing the world
Changing the world
Today the world is facing tough social challenges. Impact entrepreneurs lead us forcefully and decisively into a new era of business with an emphasis not only on profits, but also on the human needs of our society. They are visionaries who set out to change the world, but they do not do so in isolation. They create enterprises - organisations that magnify their individual magic and leave a mark beyond their lifespan.
Are you one of them?
Welcome
Impact entrepreneurs build enterprises that facilitate economic and social development. However, they face impediments. Capacity is necessary to create enterprises that realise impact. Community is needed to foster substantive relationships. Capital is required to access resources.
Jumpstart-up has developed a framework for enterprise development that combines rigorous planning and execution with opportunities to access and effectively utilise necessary resources.
Our Impact Programme garners trust of investors and service professionals in the planning and execution capacity of the entrepreneurs. It allows them to commit resources on terms that help the enterprise realise its potential impact. Our Social Returns Fund addresses lack of seed capital for impact enterprises by investing in selected Programme Participants.
The end result - healthy, scalable, replicable, sustainable social enterprises with business models that optimise commercial returns and maximise social impact.
