Can I join the Full Formula after having followed the Light formula?

---

Yes, definitely. Not only you can but we advise you to! The Light formula gives you an idea of what spreading an impactful solution means but does not give you access to all the training needed nor the actual projects you can replicate. To do so, the Full formula is there and can be a natural step forward. If you have followed the Light Formula, you will be able to join the Full Formula at a discounted rate (if you’re selected through the application form).

What is the best track for me: the Full or Light Formula?

---

The Light Formula is the best choice if the idea of becoming a social entrepreneur or a spreader (i.e an entrepreneur who replicates a proven social business concept) is attractive to you, BUT you are not so familiar with social entrepreneurship in general and even less with what “spreading a proven social business” concretely means.In that case, this is the right program to follow!
The Full Formula is the best choice if you are already pretty convinced that you want to become a social entrepreneur, but haven’t found THE idea yet to get started… For real! The idea of “spreading a proven social business concept” seems interesting and you’re ready to dig more into it (i.e. discover projects to spread, learn important skills for it & effectively spread one if you have a crush).

Are there any requirements to join the Light Formula program?

---

To best experience the Light formula, we advise you to:

• Have a strong internet connexion as it is a 100% online program.
• Live in a country of the European Union. If you don’t live in a European country, it might not be very convenient for time zones. If you have a doubt, feel free to contact us directly
• Speak fluent English (the course will be 100% in English).

How do you select the social enterprises of your portfolio?

---

We have spent a lot of time finding those diamonds for you. We have assessed them through a rigorous method and based on the following 5 criteria.

• Impact-proven: the social business has generated positive social and/or environmental. This impact has been measured.

• Viable: it has a sustainable business model which doesn’t 100% rely on external grants. If you want to replicate this concept, you will be able to earn your living with it at some point.

• Local: it solves a local problem at local scale. Although it can have a technological dimension in its solution, it is not a 100% digital solution.

• Simple: The concept is easily understandable. And you don’t need to have 5 PhDs or to be a renowned chemist to be able to replicate the solution.
• Empowering: the founding team initiating the social business (the ‘initiators') are sharing their concepts with others. Why? Check out all their motives in our manifesto.
