Resources
At The Impact Seat Foundation, we believe in demystifying the entrepreneurship journey to democratize access to capital. We are creating an open, honest, and equitable ecosystem that is accessible to all.
We believe innovation is universal — it knows no demographic, region, gender nor ethnicity. The Impact Seat is proud to provide more tools to ensure the blossoming of innovation in every corner of our world.
“We can build a new economy that solves the world’s biggest challenges if we are willing to share our knowledge with each other.”
