Empowering Entrepreneurs, Igniting Success Together

We envision a business world where entrepreneurship is accessible to any one who wishes to be an Entrepreneur!

What we do

Helping student entrepreneurs from underserved communities find pathways to financial independence and upward social mobility

  • Expanding and enhancing entrepreneurship education, training, mentoring, and incubation to better serve students and alumni of entrepreneurship from underserved communities.
  • By addressing unique challenges faced by students and alumni lacking equal access to economic capital, NESBA USA strives to foster social justice and create a more inclusive and equitable entrepreneurial ecosystem.
How we do it

By changing the mindset of student entrepreneurs, from that of future job-seekers and employees, to that of Future JOB CREATORS and EMPLOYERS!

  • At NESBA USA, we understand that attributes like creativity, resilience, risk-taking, and innovation are just as crucial as the technical aspects of entrepreneurship education—such as systems, strategies, and techniques.
  • Along side the rigorous academic curriculum, we also focus on developing the attributes, these intangible qualities, that allow student entrepreneurs to navigate uncertainty, overcome challenges, and turn ideas into reality.
Tools we use to do it

In addition to the current rigorous entrepreneurial curriculum with practical resources such as workshops, mentorship, coaching, and networking events, the inclusion of the crucial “Financial Capital” is central to our vision and mission.

Rigorous Curriculum
We empower aspiring student entrepreneurs with essential knowledge and skills through workshops, seminars, and hands-on learning.

Our programs follows both skills training and attribute development approaches to help students with academics as well as personal growth to succeed in a competitive business world.
Mentorship and Coaching
Our mentorship program connects aspiring entrepreneurs with experienced mentors who provide personalized guidance and industry insights.

This support helps mentees navigate challenges and achieve their business goals with confidence.

why we do it

We envision a business world where entrepreneurship is accessible to any one who wishes to be an Entrepreneur!

  • At NESBA USA, we believe that entrepreneurship is more than just a career choice; it’s a powerful engine for social and economic transformation.
  • Our mission is driven by the understanding that for many students and graduates—especially those from underserved and historically marginalized communities—the path to business ownership is often obstructed by systemic barriers, including limited access to critical resources and funding.
  • These obstacles prevent talented individuals from realizing their full potential as entrepreneurs, leaving their innovative ideas and economic contributions untapped.
  • We exist to dismantle these barriers and provide the essential economic capital, mentorship, and support needed to empower these aspiring entrepreneurs to become job creators and community leaders.
