Mentorship & guidance
A conversation about the problem you want to solve, the stage of your idea and the practical questions you face.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Support for ideas with purpose
Helping young entrepreneurs explore their next step through guidance, industry connections and a focus on sustainable development.
A first idea needs people around it.
Starting a venture can raise questions that are difficult to answer alone. PLS Foundation welcomes young entrepreneurs who want to discuss a useful idea, understand their next steps or connect with relevant experience.
Our interest is in ideas that create opportunity and contribute to sustainable social or economic development. We have supported ventures including Pehla EV and Via Glowbal, and are open to conversations with more founders.
