Entrepreneurs collaborating in a workshop

One community, served in two tracks

All our programs serve the same community — we simply organize delivery into two tracks so everyone gets what they need.

Track A

Organizations & Ecosystems

We support EDOs, CDFIs, ESOs, universities, and governments to design, fund, and deliver inclusive programs.

  • Program design & management
  • Train-the-Trainer & facilitator development
  • KPIs, reporting, and funder alignment
Track B

Entrepreneurs & SMEs

We support founders with hands-on cohorts, tools, and coaching—from idea to growth, capital, and export readiness.

  • Business planning & forecasting
  • Resilient Entrepreneur® Canvas & execution
  • Capital, exporting, and B2B matchmaking
Community

Together, not separate

While delivery is split across two tracks, everyone belongs to one community with shared resources, mentors, and outcomes.

How ISM supports lasting impact
