About Project Makers
Project Makers is a unique program designed for entrepreneurs. It provides education, resources, technology, and mentoring to young adults in disadvantaged communities who want to establish or formalize their own businesses. As part of Vimenti's economic development pillar, Project Makers aims to reduce child poverty and promote economic mobility in Puerto Rico by equipping individuals and businesses in marginalized communities with the necessary entrepreneurial tools to make a social and economic impact on their families.
Project Makers operates through four continuous phases of services: Startup, Social Impact Accelerator, Support, and Alumni Program. In the Startup phase, they assist young adults in disadvantaged communities in accessing education, resources, technology, and mentoring to establish or formalize their businesses. The Social Impact Accelerator phase supports social entrepreneurs in developing and expanding projects aimed at eradicating poverty through access to capital, technology, and collaboration.
For established businesses looking to grow, the Support phase offers mentorship and resources. Lastly, the Alumni Program provides education, events, and global resources to graduates of Project Makers to support their ongoing growth. As a project of Vimenti, Project Makers is dedicated to eradicating child poverty in Puerto Rico.
They offer a range of programs to incubate and accelerate small businesses in low-income communities and high-growth companies addressing poverty-related challenges. For more information, visit their website or contact them directly
