Agora Partnerships is a community that recognizes the value of making good connections; they're an Ashoka Changemakers partner and a certified B Corporation.
The global group focuses exclusively on social entrepreneurs -- or what they call "impact entrepreneurs" -- in Latin America who are committed to social change. Geography isn't the only exclusivity here because the Agora Partnerships team works solely with early-stage entrepreneurs that run small businesses that focus on poverty alleviation and creating a more fair world. The services offered, for instance through the Agora Accelerator program, range from consulting, mentor partnerships, pitching opportunities and leadership development.
For a little look into more of the ideas that surface around the organization, check out their blog, which features posts such as "Are Millennials the key to Impact Investing’s Success?"
