Angels Initiative alongside the Unreasonable Institute based in Boulder are launching Angels Unreasonable East Africa beginning with Kampala this March 22nd-24th 2013.
 Joachim Ewechu from Angels Initiatives said, “Angels Unreasonable East Africa will be is a 6 week business acceleration program that involves bringing together 25 prolific social entrepreneurs from across East Africa into one house where they are provided with the adequate knowledge, resources, tools and connections to grow their ventures through the pilot phase, roll out phase and on to the growth phase.”
They thus work to achieve a product-market fit for their ventures and in the process get them profitable. The ventures live and get to work with world-class mentors, investors, funders, consultants and community of MBA students thus accelerating the growth of their ventures tremendously to get the ventures profitable.
To launch this they are holding start-up weekend style events in Kampala and Nairobi.Dubbed Be Unreasonable Kampala and Be Unreasonable Nairobi, the weekend long events seek to converge a community of 100 brave, creative and daring dreamers to devise products, services and business solutions to solving some of our region’s most pressing challenges.
Joachim added, ” This event is designed to capture the creative thinking, cooperation, and rapid ideation of Startup weekend while involving participants of different skill sets and backgrounds.”
Be Unreasonable Kampala will be held on 22nd-24th March 2013 and thereafter Be Unreasonable Nairobi in April.
The events are set to solve the day-to-day issues in society.

According to Evelyn Namara, Country Director Solar Sister, “We live in a world with lots of challenges, we see them everyday, we curse them everyday, but we do little to bring about change that we want – that is why we believe that the next generation of real entrepreneurs will come from people who have a passion of community and want to tackle the most pressing challenges of their community through building social ventures.”

The initiative is open to founders with social ventures, those with ideas for social businesses and those wondering what to do at the moment. Joachim called on founders wherever they are to “bring their ideas to the Unreasonable startup event and people will be there to help shape your ideas.

He said,”So everyone who heads a social venture, or has a business idea that they believe can solve some of the toughest challenges we face.. like in health, agriculture, energy, transport, anything,” and adds, ‘Come Be Unreasonable.”

 

The Unreasonable Institute gets 10 to 20 world-changing entrepreneurs live under the same roof for six weeks in Boulder, Colorado and gives them training from ’50 world-class mentors, ranging from a Time Magazine Hero of the Planet, to the head of user experience at Google X, to an entrepreneur who’s enabled over 20 million farmers to move out of poverty’ in a move to scale their businesses.

The entrepreneurs also form relationships with 25 investment funds, get legal advice and user design consulting, and pitches to hundreds of potential investors at the end of the Institute.

The Unreasonable Institute accelerates these ventures so they can scale to meet the needs of  over one million people each.
