Jasiri is a one-year entrepreneurship development program for high potential individuals (under the age of 35) who display entrepreneurial intention-, maturity, and competencies to form part of a community of high impact responsible entrepreneurs. Jasiri believes that businesses can and should be a force for the common good by offering their customers and clients great value for money, acting ethically, creating good employment opportunities, raising efficiency through innovation and thereby earning a profit while contributing to the welfare of others.
The program participants will participate in a world-class, regional-specific entrepreneurship development program that seeks to support participants toward a validated business idea. Jasiri takes a holistic and long-term approach to developing our entrepreneurs as they grow high impact ventures. Our support is individualized and aimed at removing barriers for entrepreneurs. Noting the significant complexities around COVID-19, the Jasiri team is focused on continuing our work around launching a campaign while being highly sensitive and aware of collective realities we are facing around the pandemic.
