Nathalie Virem, Founder
This no‑cost session is funded by donors; there is no obligation to purchase anything; if you later purchase paid coaching, 100% of fees are reinvested into scholarships
VISION
We envision a future where purpose‑driven leaders everywhere confidently align intuition with strategy to build sustainable ventures that improve lives, strengthen communities, transform industries, and regenerate the planet.
 MISSION
As a 501(c)(3), we raise funds for scholarships in holistic business training, coaching, and consulting, equipping underserved leaders worldwide to build sustainable ventures for the greater good.
PROBLEM
High‑quality entrepreneurship training is costly and selective, and traditional paths often overlook purpose, ethics, and discernment—leaving many founders under‑resourced or unfulfilled.

1. Access & affordability: High‑quality entrepreneurship training and coaching are expensive or selective; many under‑resourced founders never get in the room.
2. Fragmented learning: Traditional programs over‑index on tactics and pitching but rarely integrate purpose, ethics, and discernment with the same rigor as finance and strategy—leaving leaders successful on paper yet unfulfilled in practice.
3. Fear of failure: Globally, nearly half (49%) of adults in 2024 (GEM 2024/25) say they wouldn’t start a business for fear it might fail—up from 44% in 2019—despite seeing opportunities. That hesitation stalls job creation and community solutions.
4. Purpose alignment drives performance: Deloitte “purpose premium” synthesis. Reference: “Why It Matters.”
OUR SOLUTION
A scholarship‑powered, whole‑leader method that fuses inner clarity with world‑class business execution.
- Remove the cost barrier: We provide full‑ride scholarships for immersive workshops and subsidize online programs so any qualified founder can access life‑changing training. (Donors fund seats; paid services pay it forward.) 

- Whole‑leader curriculum: We uniquely combine purpose discovery, mindset & resilience, and intuitive/ethical decision‑making with hard‑skills training (strategy, marketing, sales, legal, finance) so founders build companies that are profitable, sustainable, and values‑aligned. 

- Hands‑on execution + community: Cohorts, masterminds, and 1:1 mentoring turn insight into action, while an alumni community sustains momentum and accountability.

- Proof of outcomes: Our programs report 100% participant satisfaction, 98% completion, 92% success, and alumni who have collectively secured $1M+ in capital—with individual raises up to $250k+ (“See outcomes below”).
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
- Scholarship‑first access at scale: removing the primary barrier. 
- Integrated inner + outer skills: purpose & discernment taught alongside P&L, go‑to‑market, and sales. 
- Mission‑funded 1:1 support: no‑cost strategy sessions; coaching revenues reinvested into scholarships. 
- Documented outcomes & recognitions: state/city awards; strong completion and success rates.
