Mentorship Program for Ethnically Diverse Entrepreneurs (2023 cohort)

Foundation for Shared Impact’s annual mentorship program for ethnically diverse entrepreneurs is open for recruitment!

We are looking for mentors and mentees from diverse backgrounds running social businesses (both not-for-profit & for-profit) in HK.

Through a series of high-quality mentoring and coaching, training, and workshops, FSI will assist entrepreneurs to build their capacity, develop personal and professional skills, and to scale their businesses.

FSI supports Hong Kong's entrepreneurs

Under our Community Business Support Program, FSI has experience helping 50+ early stage entrepreneurs scale their business and impact by building their capacity as businesses and as community leaders.

Hear from our community

“It is really the community that we were searching for. I feel much more connected now, and it’s very helpful to have people to sound off your ideas.”

“The experience has been nothing but supportive... this community that has been formed by FSI is helping a lot of entrepreneurs get different perspectives and how to go about, especially newbies like me.”

"For ethnically diverse people, this is the first and only place where we can talk in English as well as in our own language, so this is something very unique."

"It was nice learning from other mentees and mentors ... how everybody is using the same technique that we learn from the FSI workshops and executing them and applying them differently in their own organizations."
