TESTIMONIALS
In the Acceleration program of Pomona Impact we learned a lot in subjects like entrepreneurship, business models and how to channel our personal motivation to inspire other people. For Evolo, it was an opportunity to redesign the strategy of the business model. I am thankful for the opportunity of having been able to learn from creative people from across Central America and it was very interesting being able to know the experiences from the other entrepreneurs that are seeking to improve the management of resources in agriculture. I believe that the collaboration space for entrepreneurs with social and environmental roots like the one created by Pomona Impact is a model that should be replicated to promote a sustainable economic development.

In 2016 I participated in the “Enactus-Pomona Bootcamp”. During the process, I had specialized mentorship to work on my projections and the valuation of my business; I learned how to structure the financial and social impact through specific metrics and I received the consulting required to present my proposal to Kiva. More than a workshop or seed funding, the event has opened doors and has connected me to people that add value to my business, I am thankful for the interest and commitment brought fort by Pomona Impact.

Pomona Impact has been a wonderful partner for Uncommon Cacao. When we expanded operations from Belize into Guatemala, Pomona was helpful in connecting us to the local landscape and opening up new opportunities. Rich and his team are the clear leaders in the space in Central America and Uncommon Cacao is honored to be a part of their diverse and exciting portfolio of change-making businesses in the region!

Pomona was the first impact investor for Wakami besides or family and friends!! The fact that Pomona believed and invested in Wakami, opened the door for more investors. Working with Pomona has been very important for Wakami. They have been with us in the hard times! Being able to count with their support has brought Wakami forth to our current track of being a company that is becoming a global brand. There is still a long way to go, but the path has been traced! Thank you Pomona Impact!

Rural Guatemala has a reputation for being averse to innovation. However Pomona Impact sees this as a world of opportunity. This shared philosophy is what defines our partnership with Pomona. Since 2016, Pomona has supported emerging female entrepreneurs through its accelerator program. What has made this experience unique and powerful is Pomona's ability to customize its innovations and knowledge to the profile of the young women they serve in the Starfish program. This has become a model partnership for Starfish.
