Savvy Global Fellowship 2023 for Aspiring and Early-Stage Entrepreneurs (Fully-funded)

Deadline: Rolling Basis

Are you passionate about solving some of the world’s most pressing problems through innovation? Have you ever wanted to build a successful impact-driven business, but didn’t know how to? Do you own an early-stage business that you want to grow and scale into new markets and verticals? Are you interested in being part of the new generation of impact-driven entrepreneurs? Apply now for the Savvy Global Fellowship 2023 for Aspiring and Early-Stage Entrepreneurs.

Savvy is a global virtual Fellowship programme, available in 111 languages, for passionate and brilliant young individuals seeking to be part of the new generation of impact entrepreneurs. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many have lost their jobs and are now living in an uncertain world. Also, due to the recent macroeconomic downturn, increased market competition, and revenue loss, many big and small companies continue to lay off their employees to become leaner and more efficient.

Savvy Fellowship is equipping these individuals with the necessary knowledge and skill they need to start their own impact-driven businesses and succeed as entrepreneurs. As a Savvy Fellow, you will be provided with the knowledge, skills, tools, resources, support network, and community to build a sustainable, innovative, and profitable impact-driven business.

The Savvy Global Fellowship for Aspiring and Early-Stage Entrepreneurs, which began in 2020, has so far, received over 100,913 applications from around the world, and has selected and trained 8,350 Fellows from 159 countries. For 12 weeks, no matter what stage your venture is, the Fellowship programme helps selected Fellows answer all the relevant questions that they need to kickstart their amazing impact venture, gain early traction, achieve product-market fit, and scale into new markets.

Fellowship Details

Some of the things you’ll learn as a Savvy Fellow include fundraising for your business, building the right team to execute your business strategies, building buzz around your product or service, achieving product-market fit, scaling into new markets and verticals, and building customer loyalty and retention.

  • E-Learning: Savvy Fellowship kicks off with a rigorous 12-weeks e-learning experience. As a Savvy Fellow, you will learn everything from ideation to scaling. Some of the things you’ll learn during the program are ‘understanding your customer’, ‘building a product or service that effectively solves their key challenges’, and ‘effectively positioning your solution in the market.’
    • Week 1: Understanding Your Customer
    • Week 2: Building the Right Product or Service
    • Week 3: Beating Your Competitors
    • Week 4: Understanding Your Target Market
    • Week 5: Drafting the Right Revenue Model
    • Week 6: Your Customer Acquisition, Activation & Retention Strategy
    • Week 7: Your Operations
    • Week 8: Setting the Right Business Structure
    • Week 9: Your Go-To-Market Strategy
    • Week 10: Building the Right Team
    • Week 11: Your Fundraising Strategy
    • Week 12: Securing the Right Partners
  • Assessment: During the 12 weeks of learning, unlearning, and relearning, you can test your understanding by taking weekly quizzes. The quizzes are a combination of multiple choices, Yes or No, and True or False. Assessments are the best way to identify your strengths and areas of weaknesses. Knowing your weaknesses helps you work effectively on them.
  • Peer Mentorship: They have introduced peer-to-peer mentorship, which they have found very effective. The motto at Savvy is: “Be Your Fellow’s Keeper.” So, since all Savvy Fellows don’t have the same level of experience, more experienced and knowledgeable Fellows will help guide the others.
  • Expert Mentorship: Savvy Fellows get weekly expert mentorship from 1,060 renowned experts across various industries. The Fellows are expected to effectively transform all their learnings from the expert mentorship sessions, into meaningful and measurable societal impact.
  • Post-Fellowship: After 12 weeks, you’ll receive a Certificate of Completion to proudly share with your professional network. That’s not all. You’ll still find the Savvy platform useful as they constantly share weekly articles on impact entrepreneurship, personal branding, capacity building, and professional opportunities. So, your Savvy Fellowship account will be useful even after you complete the intensive 12-week virtual Fellowship programme.
  • Savvy Prize: At the end of every year, Savvy Fellows compete for the $3,000 Savvy Prize, which seeks to recognize and support the efforts of Savvy Fellows working to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems through innovative and sustainable ways. The Savvy Prize comes in cash prizes, product development support, and marketing endeavors.

Benefits

Becoming a Savvy Fellow is an exceptional opportunity for you to:

  • Identify your ideal target customer and build a product or service that exceeds their expectations.
  • Make your product or service stand out from competing or substitute solutions in the market.
  • Draft a solid go-to-market strategy, revenue model, and customer acquisition strategy for your business.
