So You Want to Start a Social Impact Venture?

The recipe for social impact success includes, concern for people and the planet, problem solving, a specific motivation, and mentorship. Our guests today, Arturo Quiroz and Stephanie Benedetto, have every ingredient in this recipe and more.

Arturo is the founder of Wareclouds, a digital platform that makes use of a network of individual homes acting as warehouses and fulfillment centers. The decentralized locations allow products to be shipped faster and more efficiently and it puts money into the Chilean communities, where these homes are located.

Stephanie Benedetto is the CEO of Aloquia, a tech company, helping businesses manage their excess inventory through recycling, reselling or repurposing. Stephanie's motivation is seeing a cleaner planet for her children.

So how can big companies help social impact entrepreneurs scale their operations and make a difference in the world? Arturo and Stephanie are the perfect example! They met at the 100+ Accelerator Program, where they learned to build new sustainability models for their businesses. The accelerator delivers six months of remote programming and training, mentor networks and up to 100,000 US dollars toward pilot execution. Some of the biggest consumer goods companies participate, and EY teams also guide and prepare the startups for “Demo Days.”
