Deadline: Rolling Basis

Have you built a post-revenue business? Do you have at least five years of experience building a startup? Are you willing to share your experience with young aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs that are solving some of the world’s most pressing problems through innovation? Then, Savvy is looking for you to serve as a mentor in its Fellowship Programme for Aspiring and Early-Stage Entrepreneurs. 

Every day, they are looking for experienced entrepreneurs with post-revenue businesses to join the ‘Savvy’ team that is building a new generation of impact entrepreneurs through mentorship. They are a diverse team, so they welcome people from different backgrounds. They are looking for experienced entrepreneurs with a heart for helping others, and dedication to leaving the world better than they found it. So, if you think that describes you, then you might be whom they are looking for.

Currently, the Savvy mentorship team includes over 900 changemakers from around the world, and they are looking for more amazing people to join the team.

About the Savvy Fellowship

Savvy Fellowship kicks off with a rigorous 12-week e-learning experience. As a Savvy Fellow, you will get to learn everything from ideation to venture scaling, including how to start, build, and scale an impact venture. Using visual presentations, they will help you answer all the relevant questions you need to kickstart that amazing impact venture, gain early traction, achieve product-market fit, and scale into newer markets. Some of the things you’ll learn during the programme are ‘understanding your customer’, ‘building a product or service that effectively solves their key challenges’, and ‘effectively positioning your solution in the market.’ Savvy is for every impact entrepreneur, no matter what stage your venture is.

So far, they have received over 111,000 applications from around the world and have selected over 9,200 Fellows from 161 countries.

Benefits

  • The opportunity to give back to others: Achieving greatness is nothing if you fail to help others achieve greatness too. Serving as a mentor in the Savvy programme helps you give back to the younger generation, which gives you personal satisfaction as you make a difference in the entrepreneurial journey of others.
  • Network with other changemakers: The Savvy mentorship team includes over 1,000 changemakers from around the world that have built and exited innovative and profitable business ventures. So, joining the team brings you closer to these like-minded changemakers, which could foster collaboration and partnership in the nearest future.
  • Serve as a source of inspiration: You’re not only given a chance to give back and meet like-minded entrepreneurs that have created an impact in their community and the world at large. You’re given an opportunity to serve as a source of inspiration to the younger generation of impact-driven entrepreneurs who are passionate about solving some of the world’s most pressing issues through innovative means.
  • A certificate of appreciation.

Eligibility

  • You must have a post-revenue business in any sector or industry.
  • Having a tech or tech-enabled business venture is not required, but it’s a plus.
  • You must be fluent in the English language; both written and verbal.
  • Fluency in French, Spanish, or Portuguese is not required, but it’s a plus.
  • Be willing to impact and guide a Savvy Fellow in achieving their business goals.
