“YSE is a big family. Sometimes, being a social entrepreneur can be lonely, because you need the right network of support in this journey. One of the best things I have gained from YSE Global is that network of friends and support. Apart from that, we received great mentorship from McKinsey & Company. I cannot say enough thanks to SIF for the whole experience – the insights we gained, people we met... the experience is just invaluable.”
