The connection of other innovators and mentors in the One Young World Community — those who’ve successfully launched ventures in low-resource settings and who understand the complexity of working in fragile states – is invaluable.

I love the way the profiles are made on the Community Platform. You can see what the interests of other people are. You can join the groups, you can participate in the regional meetings.
