The Promise Venture Network
Join the Largest Community of Social Entrepreneurs in Early Childhood Development
The Promise Venture Network is a community of social entrepreneurs and leaders committed to deepening equity, their impact, and their influence on Early Childhood Development (ECD) in the United States.
We believe…
Social entrepreneurship is a driving factor in improved outcomes in early childhood
Elevating the impact and work of social entrepreneurs and the work they lead in early childhood will attract talent, capital, and resources to the ECD ecosystem
Tailored resources and peer learning communities can accelerate the impact and growth of ventures in the ECD field
The Promise Venture Network, and its benefits, are completely free to social entrepreneurs. This initiative is supported by our philanthropic partners to improve outcomes in ECD.
Being a member of the network, you’ll:
Gain valuable resources and insights to advance your venture or organization
Make connections to key ECD stakeholders who otherwise would be hard to reach
Give and get support while building new connections to senior leaders and social entrepreneurs in leading organizations across early childhood
Be in the know about upcoming ECD opportunities and the field’s latest research and thought leadership
I can’t tell you how many of my work relationships trace back to Promise…(it) is so hard to measure in terms of impact, but I hope you know that your goal of building an early-childhood ecosystem is absolutely happening.
