About Seed
Thriving Enterprises: Long-Term Engine for Change
Seed-trained entrepreneurs, empowered with leadership know-how and one-on-one support, are making an impact by:
- Scaling and strengthening their companies
- Creating valuable local, regional, and global networks
- Transforming lives — from employees and suppliers to customers and communities
Seed Transformation Program: Where It All Starts
This year-long, in-country leadership program is designed exclusively for company founders and their teams, and brings together established entrepreneurs from the most promising businesses throughout Africa and India. With world-renowned faculty from Stanford Graduate School of Business and Stanford-trained facilitators, participants learn to apply classroom concepts and tools to their unique situations via in-company workshops.
Following completion of the program, participants also have access to seasoned executives, who serve as volunteer leadership coaches and pro bono project consultants, as well as Stanford student interns who come to work at their companies.
