Making entrepreneurial education more accessible
A digital platform enabling and incentivising farmers to apply regenerative farming techniques, providing the basis for successful sustainability transformation in agriculture.
Why it matters
Barriers to entrepreneurship are high and most existing support (accelerators, incubators, VCs) are only accessible to a few and mainly targeted at tech entrepreneurs.
Only approximately 18.3% (1 million) of all U.S. businesses are minority-owned and about 19.9% (1.1 million) of all businesses are owned by women.
Women, ethnic minorities, and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds have less opportunities to get mentorship and/or access to professional support networks. This negatively impacts their chances of success in businesses and reduces confidence to start a business.

The Oneday community has been lifechanging. I had a great time with my mentor James. Not only has his advice been extremely impactful for my business, but he actually helped me close a pre-seed funding round! I truly learned more from him than I did from any university course or lecture. ”
Jake Casson, founder of Monet

Oneday
The bulk of startup incubator programs or platforms exists for the top 0.1% of tech founders. But such an offer doesn’t exist for everyone else in the world who wants to create a business. I believe that becoming an entrepreneur should no longer be a niche activity.”
