About Enterprise Development
Founded in 2018 Enterprise Development helped pioneer the concept of social business consulting. We specialise in social sector development through startup consulting and training, driven by the belief that ventures can lead to prosperity whilst enacting positive social change.
Since its inception and early-days as a one-woman operation, the firm has engaged with over 100 clients across the private and public sector, and has developed into a company with an international team, consisting of five core members. Additionally, we are working with an expanding pool of 15+ internationally located independent mentors and consultants, who with their far reaching and diverse industry connections, experiences and expertise cover all areas of the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
We have grown our community organically, placing value on quality by connecting like-minded peers through a case-specific approach, helping members build and find a mentor or team depending on their specific needs. Over the past years, Enterprise Development has worked with universities, government level organisations, incubators, embassies, accelerators and public-sector organisations.
Enterprise Development holds a series of weekly topical events and interactive training workshops hosting expert speakers, followed by networking opportunities with our team, the speakers and mentors. We also offer more personalised one-on-one consulting, teaching you tailored skills relevant to your business. At Enterprise Development we help you launch your business venture successfully!
Values
We believe in business as a force for good, prioritising the welfare of people and planet, not just profits. Business can have a positive impact on its surrounding, enacting change if driven by social and environmental purpose as well as profit.
