Once upon a time in 2010…
Christian and Leila, two newly graduated friends, embarked on the adventure of social entrepreneurship with this idea: what if citizens could connect directly with entrepreneurs, and together they could develop their ecological and social projects? What if students could contribute?
This is how the first “hold-ups” – totally new, collaborative and imaginative brainstorming workshops – happened. It was the first meeting between the world of society, students, and entrepreneurship.
The idea quickly caught fire and opened a gateway for citizen hotspots and fulltime makesense hubs to form in key cities globally.
And in 2015, Manila became one of those cities.
It started with a single person on a mission: Lea. As she built her team, they mobilised more than 4,000 citizesn to collaborate on sustianable solutions. Thus, the Asia Hub was born!
Today, with hundreds of employees, thousands of volunteers, and countless actions for change, we’re proof that collective action transforms the world.
