Impact Entrepreneurship

Masterclass

We've created this program to lead you through the art of building an impactful startup and launching a business that scales. Along the way, discover new mindsets to better understand  the impact you will create in the world and adopt the frameworks that will radically change the way you think about business.

Course overview

Aligning your purpose with the work you do, the projects you run, the business you build is no longer a ‘nice to have’. This course focuses on uncovering alignment of purpose, as well as identifying your potential to create a long standing impact in the world. The fundamentals of impact strategy start here.

You have the potential to design the entire world around you - from systems that are failing us, the business models that no longer serve us and our planet, the products that pollute, and more. This course equips you with the tools and frameworks to start getting your hands dirty with designing solutions.

Staring a business involves a ton of testing and learning from the environment around you. This course guides you through the journey of validating your solutions, testing your assumptions, truly adopting an investigative mindset as you bring your solution to life.

In this section, we ramp up the momentum as you learn how to iterate on your prototype, develop your Go-To-Market strategy, and make your first sales! You’ll also discover how to pitch your solution and reimagine what scaling looks like as you begin to monitor your impact.

This final phase is all about preparing you for the solo flight ahead! Learn to define your value proposition, how to brainstorm new ideas, and understand your users. At the end this section, you’ll be able to adopt a circular design and biomimicry mindset, with a business plan to guide you to sticking the landing.
