Rise: Scaling Impact

Rise is a six-month acceleration program designed to fast-track the growth of social enterprises in both income and impact. Through a combination of customized technical support and financial funding, Rise helps entrepreneurs scale their ventures and strengthen their sustainability.


We offer financial support ranging from €5,000 to €15,000, tailored to the size and needs of each enterprise—with the possibility of higher funding for ventures that demonstrate strong potential and commitment.


What makes Rise unique is our hands-on, personalized approach. Each enterprise goes through a comprehensive pre-assessment to identify current challenges, define a clear baseline, and co-create a six-month roadmap with targeted milestones and outcomes. Our goal is to help social enterprises grow their revenue while deepening their impact in the communities they serve.
