Highlights from link below:

…  a host of new ventures to emerge from the Foundry, a University of Utah-sponsored peer-based training ground for entrepreneurs that’s challenging some long-held notions about how business incubators should work. University of Utah post-doc Rob Wuebker and the program’s other founders believe they’ve hit upon a method of fostering entrepreneurs that is not only dirt cheap and easily replicable but--crazy as it sounds--also has the potential to catalyze urban redevelopment and foster the growth of the creative class in places with fledging hipness quotients, from Salt Lake City to Armenia. Recently, the Foundry even caught the eye of Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, who wants to build his own incubator in Las Vegas. “My MBA would’ve been a complete waste without meeting Rob and his team,” Paul says. The Foundry gave him “the tools to make the idea a reality.”  

http://www.fastcompany.com/1838200/the-utah-connection-what-virgin-amazon-and-lebron-james-owe-to-salt-lake-city?partner=gnews

So what's the secret? The founders say it has a lot to do with social capital: Students form a tight-knit cooperative network, and as the number of viable business ideas dwindles over the course of a semester, they hire each other. This is in stark contrast to the typical incubator, where a competitive zero-sum-game vibe dominates. Participants remain accountable to the group by filing weekly reports, which they upload to Dropbox at least 24 hours before the peer-led weekly meeting at 7:30 a.m.--yes, 7:30 a.m.--Monday morning. In lieu of plodding lectures, students digest the basics of entrepreneurship via bite-sized YouTube videos, so they can spend their Monday meetings helping each other problem-solve. When it works the way it’s supposed to, the instructors are relegated to pouring coffee.

Lately, the Foundry has captivated Zappos CEO-turned-urban renewal champion Tony Hsieh. Hsieh has a $350 million project aimed at building a vibrant urban core in downtown Las Vegas, where his online shoe company is headquartered. Wuebker says he is scheduled to meet with Hsieh and his team in a few weeks to share ideas--Hsieh’s Vegas Tech Fund plans to dole out seed money to community-minded tech startups and, à la the Foundry, spur the growth of a downtown creative class.

“Rob’s created a pirate ship,” says Ben Hadley, who introduced Wuebker to Hsieh. “I wanted the guys in Vegas to know about this pirate ship in Salt Lake City. You know you’re onto something when Tony opens an attachment and says, ‘This is very good.’”

Here is only a highlight from the link below:

http://www.hapinoy.com/featured_articles/innovators_unite.html

For almost five years, the Hapinoy Store Program has worked with women micro entrepreneurs towards the growth of their sari-sari stores and their personal development as entrepreneurs. MicroVentures Foundation (MVF), through the Hapinoy Program, takes a giant step forward by partnering with Visayan Forum Foundation Inc. (VF)

VF is a Philippine-based NGO known for its innovative work for the empowerment of vulnerable migrants, especially victims of human trafficking, domestic servitude and other forms of exploitation through building social movements, and advocating for policies and delivering of services.

…

Bam Aquino, President of MVF and Co-founder of Hapinoy says, “We are more than excited with our partnership with the Visayan Forum.  We are hopeful that by nurturing, developing and supporting micro businesses in poor communities, the Hapinoy Program can be a significant deterrent in human trafficking."  

Training these sari-sari storeowners and putting them into a level of sustaining their businesses is a strategy to alleviate poverty for Filipinos. But with this kind of partnership, human trafficking through economic empowerment becomes a powerful intervention.

Big Love for Briggy: A Filipino community cafe that helps aspiring micro-entrepreneurs

Pinned via pinmarklet---------- Forwarded message ----------

http://www.indiegogo.com/bigloveforbriggyhall?c=home&a=519136

Big Love for Briggy

A Filipino community cafe that helps aspiring micro-entrepreneurs to jumpstart their businesses and build on their scrumptious passions!

Our Story & Impact

The name ‘Briggy Hall’ was derived from the Filipino word barangay, which means a small community. The concept builds on the Filipino value of bayanihan, referring to the spirit of communal unity or effort to achieve a particular objective. Launched last November 25, 2011, Briggy Hall is a community-based social business model that helps start up food entrepreneurs launch their passions by providing them with a 5-point promise of Booth, Buddies, Brains, Biz and Buck:

• Booth: Stall space in the community cafe at a friendly rental rate.
• Buddies: Foot traffic of food enthusiasts to support new food ideas.
• Brains: Educational videos and seminars featuring successful Filipino food entrepreneurs.
• Biz: Business support such as special startup rates from suppliers.
• Buck: Revolving fund to be loaned to aspiring entrepreneurs in the marginalized sector.

The brainchild of the corporate social responsibility advocate Ivanna Aguiling, the 100-square-metre food hall serves as an incubation space for budding food entrepreneurs to test their scrumptious creations. Briggy Hall aims to help launch 48 food businesses every year with the belief that creating more businesses can help increase a family’s income and provide more employment opportunities.

Since its inception, Briggy Hall has helped launch 5 businesses in the market, which includes Milky and Sunny, Sarap 88, Eleanor’s Kitchen, Tokwa’t Boboy, FILI (Food from Home) and Chuck's Wagon. The food haven in East Capitol Drive, Barangay Kapitolyo, Pasig City is also home to Filipino made organic products like muscovado sugar, golden egg (organic version of salted egg, coloured with ginger), shade-grown coffee and cacao (a dark chocolate).

Briggy Hall is not just about satisfying the hungry tummy; it is about providing micro-enterprise opportunities for the marginalized sector.

What Briggy Needs

We at Briggy Hall need support to reach our goals of helping and providing opportunities for startup entrepreneurs. We need funds to deliver our 5-point promise of providing booths (store space), buddies (marketing for highest food traffic), brains (educational videos and seminars), biz (closing partnership deals for startup entreps) and buck (revolving fund for startup entreps in the marginalized sector).

Thus, we would like to ask for your help as we raise $2,200 in 45 days. Your contributions will be part of a greater investment that aims to promote entrepreneurship as a means of livelihood for those in the lower socio-economic classes. With a minimum donation of $10, even YOU can help fuel someone's dream of creating good, delicious and quality food.

Other Ways to Help

Monetary contributions will be a great help for Briggy Hall to continually fulfill its mission in encouraging Filipinos to start their own business. Briggy Hall serves as an avenue for the formation of community of small-medium enterprises. Each dollar will truly go a long way. But aside from taking part in raising funds, one may also help us with our cause by:

1. Liking Briggy Hall's official Facebook page (http://facebook.com/briggyhall) and visiting our other social network sites.
2. Sharing the advocacy with your family and friends through word-of-mouth and social networks. 
3. Writing an article or blogging about Briggy Hall and its mission of helping local food entrepreneurs.
4. Referring individuals and companies who can sponsor Briggy Hall events and provide support for our micro-enterprises.
5. Visiting Briggy Hall at East Capitol Drive, Brgy. Kapitolyo with your friends and families to get a taste of our delicious homegrown offerings.

If you want to get further involved, you may send your name, e-mail and number to briggyhall@gmail.com!

  MECHANICS:

  ========

   

  - Cluster Leader will identify the 5 worthy recipients in the community.

   

  - Unless all 5 are built and passed the quality control, no new materials will be awarded.

   

  -The CLUSTER who finish building 5 boats will be given the opportunity to identify 5 more recipient.

   

  -CLUSTER who failed in completing the building of 5 boats will not be allowed to identify new recipients. The Cluster will have to help their cluster mates complete the boat construction. This is done to foster BAYANIHAN in their cluster.

   

  - UNLIKE IN OTHER YELLOW BOAT COMMUNITIES, The boat recipients will have to contribute SWEAT EQUITY in order to be qualify as recipient of our yellow boat. They are responsible in building of their own boats. Those who don't know how to build a boat (none so far) have to work with the CLUSTER LEADER. ZFLK provides them with all HIGH QUALITY RAW MATERIALS to ensure that they will last longer since the boats will not only bring their KIDS TO SCHOOL but also be used in ferrying their SEAWEEDS. They will be in use from SUN UP til SUN DOWN!

   

  - The draw back in making the recipient build their own boats is that it will/may take more time to completely build one but it will definitely ensure SENSE OF OWNERSHIP and will guarantee that they will take good care of the labor of love. We should remember that ALL our recipients are planting/harvesting seaweeds and get to work on their boats during their FREE TIME.

   

  

• Unlike · Follow Post · Report · Yesterday at 10:37am

  • You, John Michael Dellariarte, Antonio Ingles, PhilippineFundsfor LittleKidsand 5 others like this.
  • • 

      Anton Mari H. Lim HI Uncles and Aunties - Please review the list if we missed your donation please inform us ASAP so that we can double checked. We beg for your understanding for the delay because we cannot control the work ethics of the recipients or his regular work loads. Even if you donated earlier than the others its not a guaraantee that your boat will be finished earlier. All finished boats were already posted in this group page.

 The Escape the City story and some things we're learning...

Escape the City

https://www.facebook.com/EscapetheCity/info

@escthecity
We are on a mission to liberate talented people from unfulfilling corporate jobs. BY: ROB, DOM & MIKEY - Join Us...

Escape the City - "Do Something Different!"

JOIN THE REVOLUTION:
www.escapethecity.org/register

 

Description
Escape the City was started by the two of us: Dom Jackman and Rob Symington. We both worked in 'The City' and bonded over a shared feeling of 'surely there is more to life than this?'

We started our careers as management consultants. Neither of us regrets this because we gained invaluable experience. However, once we began to reflect on where we wanted to be in five, ten, and fifteen years time, we both realised that we didn't want to pursue our careers in the corporate mainstream. We both wanted to do something a bit different, something that we genuinely cared about.

The truth is many graduates go into corporate jobs with no great plan other than learning a lot and gaining good experience. After a while many begin asking the same question that we did: 'what else could I be doing with my life other than living for the weekend?'

Escape the City was born the day that we were sitting in neighbouring cubicles at work and admitted to each other that we both thought there was more to life than what we were doing. We then realised that we were far from being alone in feeling frustrated and unfulfilled in 'The City' and that thousands of our fellow corporate professionals felt the same way. So we decided that we would build something to help all these people and, through doing so, to engineer our own escapes as well!

Welcome to Escape the City

Hello rick passo, We decided to build Escape the City when we were looking to make our own transitions away from the corporate world. We know how hard it is to discover exciting new opportunities. We are building the solution. Escape the City is a community built around a single belief – that life is too short to do work that doesn’t matter to you. It is for ambitious professionals like you who want to find exciting jobs, start businesses and go on big adventures. Suggested starting points: 1. HOW TO USE ESCAPE THE CITY: Some hints and tips and a list of ways to start interacting with our swiftly growing international community: Click here 2.

SAY HELLO:We’re really accessible through these channels: come find us on Twitter, Facebook and your local Esc Meetup. Escape the City started in London but the concept of escaping unfulfilling corporate jobs is truly global and we now have a base in New York. We’ve got really exciting plans for Esc and the platform will be evolving fast. This is just the beginning! Watch this space and do stay in touch.
