Venture Building Africa's future Unicorn Entrepreneurs

"I really wanted something I could relate my business to. practical application and Arielle was just the right platform for that and I really appreciate all the mentors and guest speakers."

"This program has been really helpful. It has slotted me back into thinking about my business and not fall into the depression of the COVID crisis. What I’ve mostly learned is to strengthen my business as a social enterprise, creating a venture around something really meaningful instead of only building it around money."

"When I started there were so many things I didn’t know, but I am so happy to have joined this program again. I’ve learnt a lot more and I am excited to implement and to practice it in my business."

“Working with the Arielle mentors was great. The entrepreneurs enjoyed how each of the mentors were focused on providing sessions that were new and beneficial to the survival of their businesses. The mentors spent individual time with each of the teams to help and assist where they needed help the most. Especially the critique sessions that the mentors spent with each of the teams were very instrumental to the progress that the teams showed towards the end of the program. Really great work with all mentors”

"This experience has been really good to me because my business is in the ideation stage. I've learned many tools that will help my business progress.”

“Yesterday the one on one coaching session to the leadership workshop stuck out for me. It helped me see that as a person and as a leader I need to set measures that will keep me from being phased out and also keep me ahead of the market”

“The people you brought in (speakers and coaches) had solid knowledge of their fields which was another key aspect for me in the program. Most of the businesses in Kenya overlook the importance of strategy, risk management and insurance for their business, but now I learned why it is important.”
