In developing countries, impact entrepreneurs are the prime engines of economic progress. Collectively, they hold the keys to unlocking a more inclusive, equitable and sustainable capitalist system, but they often face numerous obstacles that inhibit their businesses from growing. By providing holistic and integrated support to the most promising impact entrepreneurs, Agora works to promote more investment, education, networks, and cultural support to businesses that can drive sustainable development. Agora aims to improve entrepreneurs’ access to opportunity in some of the world’s poorest countries and support the development of a robust community of impact entrepreneurs throughout Central America.
I believe in the ability and power small businesses have in bettering their community. It’s important to educate and help those with the drive, but who are maybe lacking the connections or know how. It’s quite rewarding and I love the effect these entrepreneurs have had on their community.
