Section 1 Welcome Message
We began our Change-Making Journey…

We understand that despite the technological progress, increased material wealth and rapid economic growth experienced by Cambodia over the past decade, the traditional business as usual profit maximization model has reached critical limits locally, it has been the source of increasing inequalities, human rights injustices and environmental degradation.
To create a future that is secure, fair and free from poverty for All, we need to deploy concrete, actionable, and pragmatic solutions for rewiring the economy along sustainable lines.

We propose for being dynamic parts of this global movement for change, to pioneer, launch and develop the Country’s first  Venture Building Program (PrISME) empowering the new generations of Impact-Driven entrepreneurs operating with audacious paradigms to provide meaningful employment to marginalized groups, help deliver much needed products and services to vulnerable unserved communities and protect the natural capital in Cambodia.
Concretely, the PrISME will materialize through a 12-month Program providing tailored best-in class strategy planning assistance, networking solutions, business linkages, investment/finance access and leadership support to carefully vetted organizations seeking to establish, grow or advance Impact Enterprises genuinely contributing to the promotion of a more inclusive, fair and sustainable economy in Cambodia.

It seems you are in for an epic ride around with the PrISME! Buckle up and prepare for lift off. We are looking forward to your application! We have a few questions – obviously – and would like to better understand how we can add value to your venture. We tried to keep it short.

If you have any questions, please check our website. If that still doesn’t help, Hassan Hajam is available via email for your questions at <hassan@platform-impact.com> or <tommy@platform-impact.com>.

Please also check out our eligibility criteria to better understand what we are looking for.
