Growth programs

Social Enterprise NL offers various growth programs. These provide you with tailored support to take your social enterprise to the next level. Sometimes we develop such a growth program on behalf of a partner, other times on our own initiative. Some programs are only open to members; others are for all social entrepreneurs. Do you have questions about any of the programs? Please contact Sanne.

Why does Social Enterprise NL offer growth programs?

With our different types of growth programs, we want to help you as a social entrepreneur to increase your social impact. We also want to contribute through the programs to a more favorable business climate for social entrepreneurs. We involve committed “accelerators” in the development of growth programs; from potential funders to municipalities. 

What do the growth programs look like?

In a growth program, you will learn the ins and outs of social entrepreneurship. This includes not only the substantive parts of your business model, such as marketing and financing, but also soft skills, such as pitching and negotiating. The programs are tailor-made; your specific development questions are central. During the sessions we connect you with our network of partners, trainers, mentors and experts. Moreover, you get the chance to learn from other social entrepreneurs. In these programs we naturally use elements of the member program.
