The Seed Stage
The social enterprise at the seed stage is still at an idea and pre-revenue stage. Demand for products and services is not validated yet. The programmes suitable for SEs in this stage are broad in nature and focus on building a strong foundation. You will learn how to design, measure and track your social impact through the Design Thinking process, the SE Model Canvas and the raiSE Social Value Toolkit while learning to balance financial sustainability simultaneously.
The Early Stage
The social enterprise has prototypes or existing products and/or services. Demand for products and/or services should have been validated and the business has had its first customers. The venture is revenue-generating, albeit in small amounts. The programmes suitable for Ses in this stage are more focused and thematic in nature. You are encouraged to sign up for a programme if it is aligned to your impact area.
The Growth Stage
The social enterprise has been in existence for at least two years and has demonstrated a growing demand for its core products. The business is looking to grow by implementing proper structures and tapping into new opportunities and growth areas. The programmes suitable for Ses in this stage are focused on providing more strategic guidance from experienced professionals to support Ses in their growth to the next stage.
The Mature Stage
The social enterprise has typically been in existence for at least five years and has demonstrated a stable demand for its products, with some revenue growth. The business may be looking to enter new markets, expand their product/service offerings, or scale its operations and business. The programmes suitable for Ses in this stage are focused on providing strategic guidance and leadership development with the aim of facilitating systemic transformation in the social services eco-system.
