G-Raise Mentorship Program

The DISC G-raise accelerator program aims at  supporting community based early phase/starting social impact ventures – Known to us as  ‘LOCAL CHAMPIONS –who are motivated, encouraged and enthusiastic with solutions to local problems in Kenya’s disadvantaged communities.
G-Raise accelerator program seeks to work within the framework of DISC/ Gnu foundation social business program and strive to invite other partners to scale up to reach to many local champions. The model will involve taking up equity into these social enterprises so that we can work with them to support their growth, and then allow them to buy us off as soon as they have adequate traction to operate on their own or to take external equity or debt under commercial terms.

We do this in three stages:
