In partnership with Development Innovations, EPIC is a 1-year program that will invest in and support early-stage entrepreneurs and startups to launch and grow their businesses. This scheme will be the first of its kind in the Kingdom to invest up to USD$20,000 in 5 exceptional social startups.

“EPIC’s goal is to help aspiring entrepreneurs through the most difficult part of developing a venture – the first few steps. EPIC will support entrepreneurs to create an impact-driven product and a business plan which are strong enough to raise money from investors, foundations, or other sources,” says Laura Smitheman, co-founder and COO of Impact Hub Phnom Penh.
