WHO SHOULD APPLY TO GSBI

If you are like many of our GSBI® Alumni, an advisor, funder, or fellow social entrepreneur encouraged you to apply.

If your business is operational, focused on serving people living below the poverty line, and you can commit 3-6 hours per week towards working with your mentor through program deliverables, we invite you to apply.

Whether you are seeking support for specific questions like:

• How do I negotiate with potential funders?

• I need to improve my operations – where do I begin and how do I measure progress?

• How much funding should I be raising right now? Should it be debt, equity, or grants, and who do I talk to?

Or, whether you need a trusted advisor to dig into your day-to-day challenges and help you and your organization grow. GSBI® programs can help.

WHY YOU SHOULD APPLY TO GSBI

GSBI® programs will challenge you. We will dare you to be bigger and better. And we will provide you with practical tools to rise to that challenge.

GSBI® is NOT a pitch program. Your pitch is the tip of the iceberg – we focus on the massive impact you have your eyes set on and the body of work that is required to get there.

GSBI® Mentors do NOT helicopter in. Mentorship does not happen through speed pitches or networking events – it happens over time by committed individuals with shared trust and a nuanced understanding of what makes your social business unique.

GSBI® provides a platform for you to access to help you manage your business’s day-to-day operations, capital-raising efforts, and the unpredictable and risky environment of global development. You will gain immediate value from working with your mentors, and with each other.

Social entrepreneurs selected into GSBI® Online or GSBI® Accelerator receive:

• Two mentors to work with for the program duration

• Program management from GSBI® staff with regular communications to keep you on-track and provide support as needed, along with useful sector resources

• Content tailored to your business needs with templates, tools, and resources

• A full scholarship for the program costs*
