reSET’s Business Advisory Network Supports Early Stage Social Entrepreneurs

ewalsh • April 14, 2014

reSET’s Social Enterprise Accelerator is in the midst of the fourteen week long program that provides entrepreneurs with expert-led, peer learning experiences, that help to develop and grow their social enterprises. At this stage the eleven social entrepreneurs who are participating in the program have spent the past two months working diligently on their businesses by attending classes, collaborating, and challenging their business assumptions.

The Accelerator offers participant’s access to reSET’s network of professional advisors, mentors, collaborators, and staff to compliment the programming designed for business launch and development.

On April 11th four business advisors from different industry backgrounds, all with a passion for social enterprise, offered their expertise in 45 minute sessions with each of the social entrepreneurs participating in the Social Enterprise Accelerator.

The advisors who volunteered their time to work with the social entrepreneurs include:

The Business Advisors provide the social entrepreneurs with support, ideas, and encourage better decision making by working through what a strategic decision making process looks like. It provides varied expertise, and an outside opinion.

reSET’s Social Enterprise Accelerator ends in May with a graduation ceremony in early June. For more information you can visit www.socialenterprisetrust.org
