Household Entrepreneurship: Financing, Launching & Coaching
In the second half of the Fellowship, Fellows access finance and launch their businesses. While some exemplary business plans are awarded grants through the Kula Business Plan Competition, all Fellows have access to seed capital through the VSLAs facilitated and invested in throughout the Fellowship. Kula Coaches continue supporting them through regular personal coaching sessions and group training on topics needing review or which arise through specific business challenges. Fellows are also connected with established businesses in their industry for advice and feedback.
During this period, inputs provided include:
Business grants to Business Competition Winners
Interest-free loans to VSLAs
