Experience sharing with UnLtd
In the past 10 years, UnLtd, the Foundation for Entrepreneurs in UK has sponsored 11,000 social entrepreneurs with funding, coaching and networking, and this operation model has been replicated in four other countries. To learn from their experience, SIE Fund Task Force Secretariat has invited Mr Cliff Prior, CEO of UnLtd to meet with Task Force Members. Also joining the meeting was Mr Kelvin Cheung, founder of FoodCycle (a social enterprise in UK for food redistribution supported by UnLtd) who returned to Hong Kong to set up UnLtd HK. In the meeting, Mr Prior emphasised UnLtd's philosophy of 'backing people first, projects second' and that confidence building being the focus of support to young entrepreneurs in the incubation stage of their social ventures.
