JustNeem has begun another exciting journey! This time it’s a partnership with the Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC – Chapel Hill, together with the Center for Sustainable Enterprise. 

We have been accepted to participate in the BASE Program, the Business Accelerator for Sustainable Entrepreneurship, organized by the Business School. It focuses on bringing together local North Carolina businesses with environmental and social objectives in order to connect them with development resources in the community.

On Wed., January 28, we attended the first BASE reception and had a chance to meet the other participants, such as the Green Fountain Group, an organization that focuses on providing information, education and training about ‘green’ living to low wealth communities, along with a host of advisors and mentors that will guide the program. 

Next we’ll all be meeting with folks from the Hutchison Law Group and SJF Advisory Serivices to learn more about growing a business in a challenging economy. This should be good! 

We are excited to get to know other social entrepreneurs in the North Carolina area with similar visions of making a difference, and we feel privileged to network and learn from the business development folks that have offered their time to the BASE program. You can read more about BASE on the Kenan-Flagler Web site.
