ENTREPRENEURSHIP SUPPORT
Our core mission is to support circular economy entrepreneurs through dedicated training, technical assistance, and networking opportunities. Our specialized team provides coaching and training from ideation until scale-up. We analyze and optimize business models, support product and market development, foster innovation and growth strategies, refine company structures, and prepare our partner businesses to become investment-ready.
WHY
Social businesses in the circular economy often have a high impact and economic potential, but are typically not ready to digest larger funding tickets or being investment-ready. We support with tailored acceleration programs for waste management heroes - combining sector-related, socio-economic, technical and regional expertise. We support wonderful Seedlings to grow!
HOW
Based on our project experiences in more than 65 countries, we empower new circular economy actors in the Global South, who are thriving towards profitable and scaling operations, but also face infrastructural or expertise-related barriers, which hinder to reach substantial impact and return levels. We are entrepreneurs ourselves, circular economy practisioners and are absolutely impact and solution driven.

We support impactful and promising circular economy businesses either directly with technical and managerial solutions, or via support mechanisms - such as vocational trainings, acceleration programs and mentoring. As a bridge between on the ground challenges, technical and economic details and global impact investment, SeedlingHub also supports impact investors on their journey to meaningful contributions in the circular economy worldwide.
