Project Everest Ventures

Project Everest Ventures exists to solve social issues with a business model. Social issues can be understood by looking at the Sustainable Development Goals, and the targets. A business model can be understood by looking at a sustainable method of a service or product existing, without constant fundraising, or service to donors or elections. PEV is a certified Social Traders company, and is a certified B Corp. PEV teams up with who we call Impact Partners. Impact Partners may be start-ups, researchers, anyone who has a solution to a social issue they want to scale. PEV takes these Impact Partners through our commercialisation process in order to increase their positive impact (get as many people in need to be able to access a solution they seek as quickly, as effectively, and affordably as possible). Students are able to join PEV in this process through a few different programs (online, in Australia, or internationally). Students, or recent graduates, are then exposed to these incredible projects, are guided by our Leadership team, and come out the other end with a network, experience, and ready for their own start up concept, or grad role. PEV runs Team Leader, and Senior Leader training in an incredibly immersive and challenging environment. If you come on board for the first time, and want to stick around, there is that further development, accredited training (recognised Certificate and Diploma), and paid Leadership positions available for experienced leaders. We are a community of driven, passionate, action seeking individuals, interested in innovative solutions to global issues, and know we have a role to play. Watch this video of Muhammad Yunus explaining "How to Approach Social Business" to understand 'why business?', and what a 'social' business is. How are we different? We started as a leadership training program, that focus is still core to each of our programs. We have been recognised for our work by B Corp, Social Traders, International SOS, Australian Financial Review, Grad Connection, and Singularity University. We don't exist to run student internships, we exist to solve social issues with our Impact Partners, and we invite students, or recent grads, to join us.
