 We're very excited to present this year's in residence Entrepreneurs, but before we get there. I would like to just say a few words about Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship as Many of you know Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship launched its first accelerator in 2003 20 years ago, which is incredible. Yeah, right and And also as some of you know, that's a full two and a half three years before Y Combinator was launched So like wow mind-blowing the founders of Miller what is now Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship? We're so prescient in terms of being ahead of their time thinking about how to leverage the entrepreneurship and innovation of Silicon Valley to solve Thorny global problems and here we are today 20 years later Continuing with that general mission, but then also now we've had our own milestones that we've surpassed in this recent Yeah, and I just want to talk about a couple of them. We continue to focus on two themes women's economic power and climate resilience and in fact in this last fiscal year of the 90 entrepreneurs that we engaged with 62% of them self-identified as women led which is a big milestone for us at Miller Center. Yeah Another one I'd like to talk about is our top line KPI, which is around What is the increment in the number of lives improved within three years of graduating from one of the Miller Center programs and We kind of accumulate that number and we just surpassed a hundred and sixty three Million lives improved within three years of the entrepreneurs graduating from our programs This is like a major one And then I'm just going to talk about one more big number because it news that just came out today And I don't know if Manoj is here, but one of our alums Manoj Sinha of Husq Power Systems just announced this morning on Tech Crunch that they just closed a hundred and two Million dollar round and they are the biggest and most profitable Yeah, mini-grid company in India and now in Nigeria So that's the kind of thing that can happen when you believe in a dream like these entrepreneurs do and In enjoy continued support from Miller Center, they're amazing entrepreneurs the mentors I I sort of see many of you here in the audience because Lights are in our eyes, and I just want to thank everyone in the Miller Center Ecosystem for being here for supporting us and for supporting the entrepreneurs and with that I'd like to ask Karen to say a few words about the entrepreneurs.

I became a teenage mother My son was constantly sick. I took him to the hospital.

I Make animal feeds for them I supply animal feeds for these farmers so that they can be able to increase production of eggs milk and chicken meat I also help farmers reduce post harvest waste of bananas Where we process banana flower into banana chips the byproduct from this processing we make animal feeds We provide market linkages for the extra products These are eggs milk and she can meet a produce so that they can be able to get enough income We are raising funds We are raising $450,000 in form of debt and also we are raising We are raising 250,000 in form of Grant this will enable us to reach 105,000 potential farmers in trainings and also it will enable our farmers to produce enough protein to supply people in the community And it will also help these farmers increase their profitability Invite you in this journey together. We will make it happen in our rural communities in western Kenya. Thank you Hello everyone My name is Martina and I'm the co-founder of Gadjigesa Gadjigesa is a three years old financial wellness platform for the working poor in Indonesia Our name comes from local Indonesian language and means salary now. I Wanted to take you for a while to Southeast Asia and introduce you to IU IU is 30 year old with her in garment factory in Tier 2 city in Indonesia She works full-time, but she earns them less than $300 per month. She is underbanked She doesn't have a credit history Savings she hasn't done her financial planning and she doesn't get any benefits from her employer or state such as Employee loan or even health insurance When IU's son fell ill I was forced to borrow from a loan shark station Just outside the gate of the factory she works to be able to cover for unexpected expense Since then IU is trapped in a cycle of high-interest borrowing she is haunted by the loan shark at her workplace at home and Worried about the safety and dignity of her household. She decides to leave her workplace so that she can't be found But IU is not an exception There are around 134 million formally employed in Indonesia out of which 80 percent are classified as working poor and There are 450,000 bigger-sized businesses which hire working poor workforce Struggling with their lower productivity at work and high attrition rates due to prolonged financial stress But we do have a solution Gadgetgesa is a financial wellness platform which in collaboration with employer Enables employee to access their their wages real time with a push of a button on the mobile device before the payday But don't confuse it with a loan. These are the wages employee is already entitled to based on their productivity at work Such as finish day hour or shift These wages can be cashed out to the wallet or bank account of their choice Or it can be also used as a payment method for different products and services such as bill payments Grocery vouchers employee can transfer money to the family and friend upon a small fee They can also purchase they can also pay for the religious donation on the application They can finally buy suited for them health micro insurance They can use it also as a source of funds for the investments such as gold and last but not least They can also engage in a financial education content through the application We are proud to share the till date. We have positively impacted lives are more than 27,000 employees in Indonesia and we save them almost 40 million dollars in predatory loan fees How about are you I you has been using gajigasa for almost a year She she finally managed to stop borrowing from informal lenders And she even started saving for her child education and she's the biggest cheerleader of gajigasa at her workplace We are raising additional five million dollars in debt to be able to Help to be able to positively impact lives of hundred thousand employees in Indonesia. Thank you Good morning, everyone. My name is Anthony away from Nigeria So I'm sure everyone in this room has had chicken in their mails the last couple of days But in Nigeria where I'm from we only produce 20 percent of our national demand So that leaves a gap of 1.2 million metric tons of chicken meat valued at over four billion dollars I've lived this problem as well myself ten years ago. I moved back to Nigeria to start a poultry business But that is not enough That is how we're building a poultry E poultry is leveraging on technology is soft at the service platform That helps farmers to digitize their operations on financial records so they can qualify for input loans from banks and other financial institutions The lack of access to data actually limits farmers to get funding they need to scale On the other hand, we also provide a marketplace that ensures these farmers can actually sell profitably After the farm cycle so they make more 25 to 30 percent Income on their efforts in the food systems We're looking to raise six hundred thousand dollars to provide input financing to 500 farmers in the next 12 months support 5,000 farmers across 11 cities in Nigeria and Interestingly 70 percent of our farmers are women If you're looking to do good with your money You should join a poultry and let's do this together Thank you. Hello everybody. My name is Rick Stamhouse and I am making renewable energy accessible in the Madagascar and To get to know all of you a little bit better. I would just like to ask maybe Who has been to Madagascar? Can I see some hands? All right Who would like to come to Madagascar? All right, that's gonna be a full plane to go back to Madagascar after this conference Okay, I would like to tell you today a little bit more about the work. We're doing Madagascar Did you know that in Madagascar there's worlds for five percent of biodiversity? So I'm really impressed with all of you because even before me sharing that with you You already told me that you wanted to come over so that's fantastic so Unfortunately, though this biodiversity is on the fret and so are the people in Madagascar because Unfortunately 75% of the people in Madagascar have to live still on less than one dollar a day This means that every single day. They still have to use kerosene lanterns and candles to light up their houses In addition, students do not have enough light to do homework and schools do not have electricity That's why as dear of a we're offering solar products that are rented out to these people for less than what they used to pay for a candle We're delivering our novel and model through Through a network of entrepreneurs. We call them franchisees We equip them with all the materials they need to provide the clean energy service to the people in their Towns and we also give a small percentage of the revenue to the schools This helps us to not only build up the community but also change the course of a country by making also access to education accessible Here today, I'm here in front of you to ask for your support because the problems that we're trying to tackle are bigger than we can Just solve on our own up to date. We got up to 50,000 beneficiaries But we would like to reach 500 schools and 150,000 people That's why today I would like to ask for your support. We're raising 800,000 in the for the next year and another 900,000 the year after We already raised a 1.3 to get us started on the first hundred at schools and It would be great to maybe start to finish my session here to see What kind of support there is here for our for our mission in the room? So if you are in support and you would love to help us either financially or through partnerships Then I would like to if you're not in support, then please stand up and tell your neighbor Why you would not be in support? Okay? If you are in support, please sit down relax and I would love to talk to you after this Hi everyone. Good morning. My name is Natalie Casey. I am the chief business officer at Coolbox Our mission is to make sustainable cooling accessible to everyone who needs it And I wanted to start first with a story about Mama Ibadon Mama Ibadon is one of our first customers. She's a fish trader in Lagos, Nigeria When we went to visit her a few months ago to ask her how she was Faring with her new cool box solar freezer She said I cannot tell you the number of times that I used to have to throw away fish at the end of the market day this product this freezer has Helped me save money and now I sell more And why is it that this product this fridge would have such an impact on women like Mama Ibadon The reality is that 600 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa live off of the grid and Unestimated 83% lack access to refrigeration that leads to Wastage of food and medicine a dependence on diesel generators and While solar refrigeration could be a solution There are high upfront costs and many times small business owners like Mama Ibadon don't have access to credit Our solution is one that offers continuous refrigeration by storing energy in the form of ice It eliminates upfront costs and it displaces the use of diesel and we do that with cool technology Cool technology is a combination of solar refrigeration It's also embedded with pay-as-you-go technology and that enables us at cool box to offer innovative financing to our customers They can pay outright. They can pay on a least-to-own basis and even as cooling as a service of course In order for us to to bring this impact and to scale across Sub-Saharan Africa We are asking for your support to raise our series a A total of 15 million dollars five million in equity ten million in debt And that will enable us to have our build our capacity and be able to bring our solar refrigeration products to more women like Mama Ibadon And with that I'd like you to I'd like to invite you to join us in making sustainable cooling accessible to everyone who needs it Thank you Hi, everyone. My name is Sahar Jamal and I'm the founder and CEO of Masihwa Our mission is to ignite the potential of mothers to balance their baby's health and their family's economic well-being In 2018 I met a mother named Isabel who was dreading her return to work as a construction site worker Because to her it meant giving up on optimal breastfeeding Now unsurprisingly her construction sites don't have a lactation room where she could use to express her milk It doesn't have access to electricity So she'd have to use either a slow manual breast pump or her bare hands to express milk and Even if she managed to do so there was no refrigeration to store it Now after talking to hundreds of mothers just like Isabel I learned that 90% of Kenyan women are choosing between staying at home to breastfeed their newborn or returning to work to support their families financially Unfortunately giving up on working means that the mother will lose several months of income in the short term and often drop out of the workforce completely in the long term on the other hand Suboptimal breastfeeding means that her baby is actually 14 times more likely to die because of the Inoptimal substitutes in these markets and the mother has a higher risk of cancer and diabetes herself Now while we do a good job of educating mothers on the balance the benefits of breastfeeding We often don't give them enough practical support So Maziwa has launched the Wema breast pump which can be used underneath clothing and is discreet It is wireless and portable and does not require electricity to be used and it comes with a breast milk storage cooler We also recruit and train a network of community breastfeeding ambassadors that provide tailored and culturally relevant lactation support all while distributing maternity products like the Wema pump and earning supplementary income Now today we've reached over 16,000 mothers and children and earned over 90,000 and US dollars in revenue and we've built a powerful single product brand in Kenya All with the help of half a million dollars in grants from groups like Grand Challenges Canada and the Acumen fund And we've been fortunate to be supported by great organizations like the Miller Center Now our ask is 1.25 million dollars in blended financing and 50% of this is already in the works With this funding we'll be able to reach over a half a million mothers and children and generate over 10 million in earned revenue by 2028 all while breaking even by 2026 This will allow us to build a multi-product distribution network across the continent because as I'm sure you know This is not just an issue that Kenya is facing but actually occurs all over Africa and many areas in the world including the US So we'd like to build a strong global full-time team with partnerships across the continent with this support And we hope you'll join us in this journey to ensure that no mother has to choose between her babies Hell and her family's economic well-being Three billion people across the world are impacted by the negative impact of household air pollution And this results in a million deaths every single year Good morning. My name is Charlotte Magai. I Grow up in Mukuru. It's one of the biggest slums in Nairobi and by 10. I was already a total orphan At 16 I became a teenage mom which meant I had to drop out of school to figure out a way to fend for myself and my young daughter I Got a job selling charcoal It was also the only fuel I could afford and so my daughter and I kept suffering from respiratory tract infections And when she turned two she suffered a severe ban injury caused by a traditional stove This sparked my interest in providing a better cooking technology for my community I wanted to rewrite the script of possibility to for women and girls and make it safer for mothers to cook. I Founded Mukuru clean stoves. It's the first social enterprise with a factory that uses recycled metal to manufacture improved cook stoves And then we partner with local women business owners to distribute to the last mile since 2017 we have reached over 415,000 households in Kenya impacting their lives of a little over two million people who now benefit from cleaner energy within their homes But that's not all we work with local women business owners who distribute every single unit we sell and an attend percent commission our stoves have enabled families to avoid over 820,000 tons of carbon emissions and Also and our local women business owners almost half a million dollars in commission But that's not the all we're doing Last year we won the earthshod prize with came with a million pounds and a question. What else could we do? Our stoves were enabling people to limit household appellation But it wasn't really taking it all the way and there was the problem of malaria So then we decided we were going to develop the first in the world malaria fighting bracket Which is patent pending now in the US to enable families to create a cloud that turns their home into a mosquito repellent zone When they are cooking We came up with this idea because we read a report by the CDC that was stating that millions of people Even with access to mosquito nets was still catching malaria around the time that they were cooking and my daughter thought Are they cooking using your stoves mom? So I figured I needed to change that for a lot of people We have received funding from a couple of organizations to do research on this and Produce this fee will and bring it out into the market and we are now raising five million dollars To get into the next five hundred thousand households not just with our stoves But also with the few walls that we are now manufacturing Mokoro clean stoves over the last six years has been fighting household appellation With your help we can reach the next 50 million households. Thank you. Good morning everyone My name is Florence Mogheri. I am the founder and CEO of neuter limited We are a social enterprise the partners with small holder farmers in rural Kenya to manufacture highly nutritious vegetable products small holder farmers are Outgrowers of fresh vegetables that feed into our lines of fresh frozen vegetables and canned Speciality sources as the core of our existence is our commitment to increase small farmer earnings reduce post harvest food losses and Also improve nutrition amongst the communities that we work in our biggest beneficiaries as small holder farmers And one of these farmers is called and come out for many years and come out has practiced small small scale farming In order to support her family of seven year after year She she was experiencing a 40 percent post harvest food loss Due to the fact that she did not have a ready markets for her products and due to poor post harvest handling of fresh vegetables Just like seven million other people in rural areas and come out was living in extreme poverty Not a limited Entered the market at the most opportune moment Given that there are over 15 million people in in urban areas in Kenya Which form our core market base and this is projected to keep growing at a rate of four percent per annum there are over 2.65 us dollars Over 2.65 billion US dollars in form of Revenue that is expected to come out of the convenience food market in the year 2023 Additionally, there's been a lot of interest around healthy lifestyles especially after the COVID-19 and these has This has ensured that many other consumers are turning to our products as a source of nutrition Our solution therefore is to is to provide a ready market for smallholder farmers and also create a steady source of income and This ensures that these smallholder farmers are able to increase their earnings by at least 30 percent just by partnering with us Since the year 2020, which is the year that went to the market We have been able to partner with over three top retailers in Kenya and we are able to supply 60 different locations within the Kenyan market We have been able to attain a sales volume of over 200,000 units of our products and we have 28 people that we have employed directly out of this 28 27 Our young women and mothers and one is a gentleman that we love dearly as As we continue to support many other smallholder farmers just like and come out I am happy and proud to say that our business is profitable We are here today Seeking an investment of one million US dollars that is going to allow us to scale both our Production capacity and our sales so that we are able to meet a market demand That stands at four times our current capacity with your support We will be able to onboard an additional 3,000 farmers and be able to impact over five million people within a three-year period Join us today as we transform rural communities in Kenya. Thank you so much for your time Hello everybody I'm so grateful to be here. My name is Matt Wallace I'm the CEO and co-founder of Oh now at Oh now We help young women typically migrants and peri-urban and rural areas to start and succeed in their own businesses And we do it in partnership with business support organizations to help them run better to serve more women on the margins In 2008 I moved to Myanmar and for 13 years I worked with micro and small enterprises learning the ins and the outs of their challenges But in 2021 my family and I had to suddenly flee the country because of Myanmar's political instability a military coup With the help of friends and family and mentors and resources We were able to keep Oh now afloat to continue employing my team in Myanmar I shouldn't be here today, but we made it we made it through the Valley of Death And we made it with help and most of the business owners that we support Don't have that help. They don't have those networks. They don't have those coaches and mentors We're out to give every one of those business owners a coach to help them navigate the challenges that they face These business owners face two major challenges number one They have no margin of safety when they face a challenge. It's threatening. It's life threatening If they have a challenge in the household, it threatens the business if they have a challenge in the business It threatens the household They also have low to no growth prospects If they see an opportunity, it's almost impossible to seize it They don't have the resources to seize it and they don't have the support to seize it and these are individual challenges Business support organizations have the local understanding and the local context to speak to the needs of business owners But they also face challenges. They face resource constraints And it's incredibly difficult to deliver support to every single individual entrepreneur What usually happens is they deliver a training program and it doesn't at all understand the specific needs of each business owner So oh now developed a digital platform to extend access to women on the margins who want to launch their own businesses through business support organizations We help business organizations Scale up their individual services to women on the margins who own businesses Most importantly, it reduces things like reporting time less time on data entry by 86 percent It decreases the time they spend rifling through papers And reading about information about an entrepreneur by 50 so that they can spend more time coaching that entrepreneur We help business support organizations 10x the amount of time they actually spend coaching Oh now use the system ourselves and it helped us grow from serving 300 businesses To 10 000 businesses in 18 months with individual real-time one-on-one support This is a software as a service subscription model It's regular recurring revenue for our company which makes us sustainable And it's eminently scalable so that we can serve the needs of business owners all over the world So we're raising a 650 000 investment to help us optimize this platform To help us take it to scale and this really important issue because business touches everything If we can impact a woman's business it increases her influence. It increases her agency It helps her have money to pour into her family into jobs in the neighborhood in the community So they can invest in education and health care and in nutrition And this investment helps us expand what we're doing across all of asia and into the world over the next five years We're going to reach 125 000 female entrepreneurs. Here's the thing. It's a big market We already have two paying customers. We have four. We're going to sign in the next three months We have 10 more behind those ready to to help us reach these number of women So it's a great opportunity to have impact. We invite you to come along. Thanks very much Hello everyone. My name is Julio Alvarez. I'm the founder and CEO of Promesa And I'm here to talk to you about the power of building a community so If we really want to change climate crisis It depends on all of us. We cannot depend on one corporation One government not even Elon Musk to come and help us save this We really need to start because a problem that that impacts all of us and we all need to be part of this solution So this is why We are facing this kind of big amazing problems that we just turn our back on it like waste something that each of us generate every single day And each of us need to be part of the solution in order to solve it We need to stop thinking about waste as a linear thing when we produce Consume and dispose produce consume dispose when you start thinking about circular economy On how can we reintroduce all these materials into the line again so that there's actually no waste? That's the way nature is and that's the way it's supposed to be This is why we're building a community On one hand we have this community made of schools corporations households Everybody that is part of the consumer world And we teach them how to actually be implementing programs to recover this material So it's about training. It's about being educated about what happened with everything that we consume every single day And on the other hand is the brands the producers Where we teach them also how to recover these materials and reintroduce them into their systems So that they don't have to take more natural resources This way we can actually produce something that is amazing and on the backbone Are the students we've we found out that in schools We have the power to really create this change Because the students can actually be the ones that are teaching other parents How to be more responsible with the with the earth that they want to live on And with the students we've found that they can really start engaging the whole community So this went beyond schools now to corporations to households to restaurants And everybody right now is actually doing something about it instead of just sitting quiet and wait for somebody else to do it We've already began doing this and we have already 740 schools in our program with 300 000 active students Daily engaging into solving this problem And by doing this we've already recovered more than 9 million pounds of waste and return it into circular economy So if we managed to get really the consumers and the producers on it, we can really solve this problem We are already ready to scale. We've worked all over Mexico now And we're looking for a series around to go to over 10 million students because imagine what we can do This is with 300 000 students now with 10 million students. We can really start changing the world Let's start now with recycle with circular economy and let's see what else comes afterwards. Thank you very much Can crisis lead us to finding new opportunities? In my experience, it has and not only once but multiple times My name is Ariella Suster. I'm the founder and CEO of sequence collection My company have handcrafted jewelry and accessories that I started as a personal mission and turned it into a sustainable business I wanted to figure out a way to disrupt the cycle of violence for at-risk youth in El Salvador A country of 6 million people that for the past 40 years has experienced a civil war and gang-related violence Let me share with you why I started sequence I grew up in El Salvador during the civil war and my family experienced violence firsthand From shootings in our home to car bombs to my brother being kidnapped I left El Salvador to go to college I attended Skidmore and then worked in fashion for many years in magazines like in some magazine But I always knew that that wasn't my true calling So I went back to El Salvador to address an issue of violence that had once affected my family Currently in El Salvador, the biggest driver to gang recruitment illegal drug trafficking and migration is unemployment 25 percent of youth in El Salvador are currently unemployed And when this cycle isn't broken these young men end up in jail Now two out of every 100 Salvadorians is now in jail So I wanted to break this cycle and create a solution So I started sequence my company of handcrafted jewelry and accessories that employs young men and women who live in violent and asked race communities to handcraft these beautiful products We sell these products through retail wholesale online and through corporate partnerships and fashion collaborations So what has been our impact to date? Sequence has employed over 75 artisans and influenced the lives of 300 individuals in the communities that we work in We have had deep impact in the lives of the young men and women who have come to work at sequence But now we want to scale that impact across more communities in El Salvador and around the world So please come talk to us. We're at the marketplace So kept marketplace to learn more about the sequence artisan incubator for which we are raising $300,000 To continue to expand our impact and generate 10 times more employment than sequences generating Come talk to us also if you're a corporate company or a fashion company. I don't know if there's any here So we can produce your corporate gifting products. Thank you so much Good morning. I am Madrine Minor the East Africa director at System of Bio Our mission at System of Bio is to create value from waste I grew up on a small farm in central Kenya We had a few cows. I think there were three My parents did a little bit of farming And up to some point Our cooking was done on an open fire using firewood and sometimes charcoal That's the situation with 400 million small holder farmers across the world They face numerous challenges like prolonged droughts due to the impact of climate change They face food security issues because of lack of access to fertilizer And cooking over an open fire Is a challenge because it can cause complications with health At System of Bio We work with these small holder farmers And provide them with world-class biodegester technology Using the organic waste on their farms Like the waste from cows They are able to generate their own biogas for clean cooking And a very powerful organic bio fertilizer for their farming needs We are a global social enterprise founded in 2010 And currently operating in four global regional hubs Year to date We have installed over 83,000 biodegesters globally In 34 different countries The impact of owning a biodegester has very strong links to several SDGs Like zero hunger, good health, affordable and clean energy, and climate action as well This is the typical setup in any of the many farms across the world Where we've installed one of our biodegesters Through waste management A small holder farmer is able to generate their own biogas For cooking on their homes And bio fertilizer for farming And other productive needs for the large-scale farmers We've worked with several partners To reach these small holder farmers globally And our ask is 60 million dollars in carbon financing To expand our operations globally And especially in Africa Where we have identified eight new countries that we want to go to in 2024 And eight million of these will be in equity and working capital Thank you
