Start ups, you are no longer without adequate help! Christmas has indeed come early for most startups in the country with the launch of the Enterprise Village, a modern hub that caters to the many needs of budding entrepreneurs and start up businesses.
Nestled in the central location of Accra (Dzorwulu), the Enterprise is both a startup Incubator and co-working space designed to facilitate just the right environment for both you and your business to flourish.
The Enterprise Village can be likened to that faithful midwife that holds your hand throughout the birth of your baby and provides support long after the baby has been born. Because, let’s face it, birthing anything including businesses can be a terribly intimidating and downright frightening process. At the core of their philosophy is the view that, with the right tribe Sstartups can thrive.
It does take a village
That’s what they say in raising a child, and that’s what the Enterprise Village believes is true in growing and establishing your business. Enterprise Village (EV) therefore is that community furnishing relevant assistance and support to its members as they build their businesses. At EV, members rally around one another in achieving their objectives and true success for them is one that is collective.
Their services
They offer a curated array of co-working, office, and meeting spaces at competitive prices. Their virtual office spaces and dedicated desks are also reasonably priced.
The Beneficiaries
Who are the beneficiaries of this initiative? You qualify as a beneficiary if you fall in the scope of any of the categories listed below :

The Launch
The official launch of the Enterprise Village is slated for the 20th May 2021 at 5 pm GMT. The event will be hybrid in nature (both in person and virtual) and will have its theme as “What does it take to build a unicorn?”. Unicorn by the way, is the financial parlance used to describe privately owned startups with a value of 1 billion dollars. A subject that will surely resonate with several startups in the country.
Examining the success stories of notable startups such as Flutter Wave, Mpharma, Stripe, Complete Farmer, the theme “What does it take to build a unicorn?” will seek to answer pertinent questions such as;
1. What have these startups done and are doing so well?
2. What boxes have they checked to be on the path of achieving the coveted status of a unicorn?
3.hat makes up their strategy?
4. How do they get funded and mentored?

WHAT PROBLEMS ARE THEY ADDRESSING?
In Ghana, most communities are faced with diverse problems. Startups identify these problems and try to provide solutions for them. However, their well-meaning ventures are not without challenges
Three of such major challenges include:
1. Lack of Financial Support: Lack of access to financial facilities to enable innovative entrepreneurs scale their businesses. This is especially true in the case of impact-focused entrepreneurs.
2. No Access to Market: Limited Access to Market, Business Development Services, and market-oriented accelerator programs hinder the growth of early and growth-stage businesses.
3. Talent Scarcity: Inadequate Staff Development Programs continue to be constraints for Startup owners to find thriving talent to build ventures that actually scale and return revenue, eventually profit.
