Innovation for Social Impact Partnership

10/07/2023

The amazing women-led and Mindanao-based entrepreneurs of the ISIP Social Impact Accelerator Batch 4 flew in from different parts of the country for a week-long activity consisting of the ISIP SIA Learning Lab where they got to participate in insightful learning sessions, engaging workshops, one-on-one mentorship sessions, and so much more!

🎯 For three action-packed days, the social enterprises (SEs) engaged in interactive workshops on Customer Profile and Segments with Rene Bonkingo, Writing Effective Fundraising Proposals and Investment Readiness with Priya Thachadi, Impact Management 101 with Kath Khoo, and finance consultation with ATBP.

🎯 During a field visit, Human Nature and ISIP SIA alumni Roots Collective opened their doors to give our SEs a look at how established social enterprises operate and bring their goals to life.

🎯 To cap it all off, the 10 SEs were given an opportunity to showcase their products and services through booth exhibits and panel discussions at the ISIP SIA Impact Showcase held at Chardonnay by Astoria, Pasig City, Metro Manila.



What a fun week that was! We hope that our SEs were able to take away new learnings that will help them strengthen their business models, deepen their impact, and become investment-ready moving forward.
