This article talks about programs that provides people who are intending to or had just started their own enterprise with mentors, guidance and financial assistance. These accelerator programs are no stranger to us, especially since we have taken part in one last year where we pitched our project during the BZSE celebrations.
These programs are not only available to social enterprises, but also to innovative ideas and business models. One such program going on currently in school is the Elevate Business Pitch Challenge which is having their final showcase tomorrow.
I feel that the existence of these programs is extremely useful as it provides a stepping stone platform for us to test drive our ideas and see if it can adapt to the cruel society out there. With experienced mentors guiding us along the way, participating in these challenges can allows us to receive feedback from people who have "been there, done that". Such invaluable advice is something that you will not be able to obtain on your own. It is also a good way to encourage us to continue to try harder to realize our dreams, because of the support that is given to us.
