Earth Worthy

I felt I was part of a community that supported each other, and through the guidance of mentors and experts in their respective fields, I was able to expand my business networks and ensure I had access to trusted resources.

Founder Gadhungal Marring

When I signed up for iAccelerate and was awarded a social enterprise scholarship, my company was already in good shape. Still, I got a confirmation that now, I’m doing it right. I also learned terminology and expanded my knowledge, for which I am grateful.

“Social enterprises must be both commercially viable and have long-lasting social or environmental impact. Their founders can really benefit from being part of an incubator that connects them with other social entrepreneurs, guides them to establishing strong business models, and sets them up for success so that they can achieve great things for people and the planet.
