Planning

In the final stretch of the program, the entrepreneurs had the opportunity to review the business model they had designed in the Acceleration stage in light of more recent experiences and learnings, as well as to outline plans for their ventures in the next year.

The strategic planning was a way for Instituto Procomum to contribute to the group beyond their time in the program. The intention was to increase the chances of survival and effectiveness of the projects that were created, ensuring that they generated lasting improvements in people’s lives.

We ended Colaboradora - Enterprises for Change with an open event. There, we hosted the entrepreneurial community of the region’s creative and impact economy, allowing them to get to know the colabs and their enterprises. The occasion allowed us to expose the results of the program and create new opportunities - including mobilizing people who could potentially be interested in an upcoming edition. And, above all, it was an event to celebrate the lessons, the journey, the strengths and the life of each and every one of us, as well as the future ahead.

“It was a year of intense learning for all. Still, education for entrepreneurs is a continuous, cyclical process, because with each improvement in the business new challenges are imposed. The Planning stage, therefore, is a way of prompting the colabs to look to the future and keep growing.”
