Our Mission

We exist to provide access to learning for disconnected entrepreneurs. We do this by conducting extensive research into the education needs of entrepreneurs and giving free access to learning bites on the Heavy Chef e-learning platform.

 
71% of entrepreneurs never or rarely have access to entrepreneur learning experiences.
