Workforce Development
Enterprise Development
Early-stage business founders are passionate and hardworking, typically making up for lack of experience with sheer grit. However, the rigors of running a business can wear on even the grittiest of founder. The Founder Coach project pairs startup founders, particularly those in the tech sector, with U.S. based executives in the same industries. Founder Coach uses tested apps and virtual meetings to support Guyanese startup founders in building the skills to succeed. Your contribution to support this project is 100% U.S. tax deductible.
