The problem

Entrepreneurs, while launching their own startups and SMEs, are frequently faced with a lack of practical knowledge and expertise necessary to move their business into the next stage. There are several platforms that cover basic business topics, but success is dependent on a variety of other criteria, such as knowledge of local market aspects or understanding local culture, among others. Therefore, existing educational programmes and trainings do not address local specifics and limitations faced by entrepreneurs. 

The solution

Dreamups is developing a dedicated e-learning platform that hosts prerecorded courses focused on business development, coupled with a mentorship programmePractical classes and mentorship (conducted in the learner’s native language) are delivered by expats that work at leading companies around the world, but that understand local limitations. Within the project, the team aims to empower 250 entrepreneurs from Moldova through their tailored trainings on business development. 

Impact

Empower entrepreneurs from the Republic of Moldova by providing access to relevant and useful knowledge aimed at sustainable business development.  

What they're saying about BOOST

Being part of the BOOST programme was a life-changing experience. It felt nice to see so many women that thrive for the same mission and goal  to bring impact by clear and inspirational actions.
