Research, Inclusion, and Social Entrepreneurship (RISE)

At the core of RISE's mission is the development of a virtual mentoring model, designed to connect entrepreneurs from all walks of life with mentors around the globe. This model prioritizes inclusivity and accessibility, ensuring that marginalized entrepreneurs, who often face the steepest paths to success, find the guidance and support they need.

Our mentoring program is structured to foster meaningful connections, offering tailored advice and support that aligns with each entrepreneur's unique journey. We leverage a vast network of experienced business leaders and innovators, ensuring that our mentees have access to a wealth of knowledge and experience. This initiative not only aids in the personal and professional growth of individual entrepreneurs but also contributes to the creation of a more interconnected and supportive global entrepreneurial ecosystem.

RISE champions the integration of entrepreneurship training within non-business curricula, breaking down the traditional silos that exist within academic institutions. By partnering with departments across faculties and universities worldwide, we introduce entrepreneurship as a vital skill set to non-business students. Through workshops, courses, and experiential learning opportunities, students from various academic backgrounds are exposed to the fundamentals of entrepreneurship. This approach not only broadens the entrepreneurial ecosystem but also ensures a diverse pool of future entrepreneurs, equipped with the knowledge and skills to contribute meaningfully to societal progress.

We are actively seeking partners and collaborators who share our vision of a more inclusive, diverse, and sustainable entrepreneurial world. Whether you're an educational institution looking to integrate entrepreneurship into your curriculum, a business leader eager to contribute your expertise, or an organization passionate about social entrepreneurship, there's a place for you in the RISE community. Together, we can create a vibrant community where every entrepreneur has the support, resources, and opportunities to thrive.
