TERN - Expert Impact

Charlie Fraser,

TERN

Met with David Giampaolo

We support refugee entrepreneurs in the creation and development of their businesses, providing services throughout three stages of entrepreneurial process: business exploration, business start-up and business growth.

David was able to give clear insight, advice and feedback on how we are looking to scale. He identified the areas he was able to support quickly, and was open and supportive with how he could help us build for the next stage of our development.
