ygap is an international organisation that supports early-stage social impact ventures with locally-led solutions to local problems. We believe in the power of entrepreneurship as an effective way to make sustainable and equitable change in the world.
Our work is fully informed by the communities we serve and their own entrepreneurial drive. We find, accelerate and support the growth of impact ventures led by local entrepreneurs who deeply understand the unique challenges of their communities and are best placed to develop solutions, and we create enabling environments for ventures to succeed in the ecosystems in which they operate.
Our programs are co-created and run by expert teams who are local to the areas in which we work, who deeply and easily understand local need and context. We support entrepreneurs who have high potential for success but are usually the least resourced.
Nurturing and growing existing entrepreneurial activities to achieve greater success is more impactful and longer lasting than bringing in external ideas.
ygap’s work within the wider entrepreneurial ecosystem aims to create an enabling environment for locally-led ventures to flourish.
