Leverage TT

Micro Learning. Mega Impact.

Leverage TT is an ed-tech mobile application that will provide support to entrepreneurs by

  • helping them to validate and refine their business idea
  • sharing relevant video trainings
  • providing mentorship by local industry leaders and
  • creating opportunities for grant-funding to help them start and scale their business.

 

It combines the accessibility of mobile technology with the proven effectiveness of micro-learning to support MSEs through free and paid online trainings, mentor support and opportunities for financing.

How It Started

My experience serving over 180 entrepreneurs has led to this insight- Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) face similar challenges like poor financial management, slow adoption of digital technologies, lack of digital marketing capabilities, poor product-market fit and resource management and low levels of environmental sustainability. These challenges have been compounded by the Covid-19 pandemic, which an IDB study states has negatively impacted 90% of businesses. 

After considering these factors and acknowledging that many entrepreneurs cannot dedicate months and years to acquire new skills, I realized that a mobile application may be an effective solution to overcoming many challenges faced by entrepreneurs. 

Impact

Leverage TT is in alignment with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, particularly- 

  • SDG 5: Gender Equality
  • SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
  • SDG 10: Reduced Inequality
  • SGD 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

 

Leverage TT aims to support marginalized MSEs like women, youth, creative and migrant entrepreneurs in relevant areas of capacity building so that they can financially empower themselves, their families and their communities.
