So this friends decided to support them thru ICQ and pay them stipend so that they could self employ instead of driving cabs and maybe after hire a couple of friends to create a micro impact focused on social mobility.
Forward 20 years and we are now part of a global innovation community with footprint in 100+ countries.

We have built the first digital venture builder that is being used by 10,000. We have systematised the system and now it has been used by scientists, artisans, traditional entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs, innovators, teenagers, people who work in energy, deep ocean, space, food, pharma, etc.
