Einstein Rising is a full-service social enterprise ecosystem builder ensuring the development of a network of sustainable community-focused initiatives with our primary guiding principle being the triple bottom line: people, planet & profit. We leverage social entrepreneurship as a tool in the hands of young people, so they build the futures they want to see. Our process of molding marginalized youth through practical skills training, work readiness training, entrepreneur acceleration, and investment facilitation has and continues to drive the social enterprise revolution in Africa.
Ondernemers Voor Ondernemers (OVO)is a non-profit organization which firmly believes that stimulating entrepreneurship in these countries will have a strong economic and social impact. Cooperation and partnership with key stakeholders in this ecosystem are an absolute must. For this reason, the programme “Sustainable Technology for Africa” was launched in 2018, involving the participation of actors like VITO and Thomas More University of Applied Sciences. This involved coaching being provided to African entrepreneurs for a week, making it possible for them to be included in the OVO investment portfolio.
