A Call to Social Entrepreneurship

GRDP is looking for experienced entrepreneurs who desire a hands-on role in developing sustainable, business-oriented solutions in Rwanda. Doing business in Rwanda is not easy, long-distance communication can be challenging, and many companies in East Africa are under-capitalized, but for an enterprising entrepreneur, the opportunities are many.

Rwandan entrepreneurs know they have a unique chance to build a vibrant economy, and they are looking for fellow entrepreneurs who are willing to partner and share their experience and wisdom.

GRDP's Bigger Future program is a comprehensive quarterly training and coaching experience designed to connect small groups of seasoned entrepreneurs directly with the leadership of high-potential small and medium-size businesses in Rwanda. Through formal and informal experiences, Bigger Future members will work together to:

• Build the professional, managerial, and technical capacity of Rwandan entrepreneurs to more effectively build sustainable businesses

• Establish and equip a talent pool of Rwandan leaders and entrepreneurs committed to good governance and economic growth

• Provide unique and direct opportunities to transfer skills and jointly create new market development opportunities that provide lasting growth

• Participate in a powerful experience platform to create their own vision for blending their entrepreneurial and humanitarian commitments

Bigger Future members participate in a week-long set of experiences in Rwanda to engage with the entrepreneur community, participate in workshop programs, and begin to build personal relationships with growth-oriented business owners.
