MB100 TESTIMONIALS
As a mission-led founder, being part of the MB100 has driven so many fruitful connections with leaders innovating for good. It has allowed us to find our tribe in a global community, helping us increase our customer value and positive impact.
The MB100 connected us with other founders, we got to discuss our individual and collective problems, and learn immensely from each other. It also meant we met with investors and industry veterans to discuss and strategise on many of our pain points through workshops, one-on-one coaching and mentorship events. The programme was a great opportunity for us, and we’re happy to have been a part of it.
I want to thank the MB100 community for creating a healthy environment for interaction, growth and, better yet, failure. I have never experienced a programme like this before. The value I have received from the networking, training and mentorship has been immeasurable, and I am eager to see where this journey takes me and my team.
My ego never entirely recovered from missing being part of the Forbes 30 under 30 but being among the 100 Meaningful Business is a recognition that widely compensates for it ??!
Being part of the MB100 programme has enabled me to broaden my professional network and learn from business leaders across the globe. It is a transformative initiative to be involved.
Beyond a meaningful recognition for companies advancing the SDGs, the MB100 programme provides invaluable opportunities for learning, mentorship, and networking. Through MB100, I’ve made powerful connections with social entrepreneurs around the globe and tapped into advice from industry experts while our company has been growing through a pivotal period of growth.
