AS FEATURED IN

Over the past 5 years,

we have empowered hundreds

of entrepreneurs and students to solve

pressing social problems. Working with

adult entrepreneurs in Phoenix and

Washington, DC and teachers in high

schools across the country, we have

received demand from dozens of cities

and schools to expand our programming.

In 2018, SEED SPOT is unleashing

our proprietary curriculum, mentorship

program, and impact framework for

schools and communities using a train-

the-trainer model.

SEED SPOT Communities equips local

community organizers to run SEED

SPOT programs for entrepreneurs

in their community through two

programs: our 2-Day Launch Camps that

provide the starting place for impact-

driven entrepreneurs, and our Impact

Accelerator that provides ongoing

support for entrepreneurs growing their

ventures.

SEED SPOT Schools works with high

schools to teach social entrepreneurship

inside and outside the classroom with

three unique offerings Explore: Social

Impact Club, Build: Intro to Impact-Driven

Entrepreneurship, and Scale: Launching

an Impact-Driven Business.
