With a mission to empower high-potential, well-established entrepreneurs in emerging markets, Stanford Seed is introducing the Seed Transformation Program to Indonesia, inviting an inaugural cohort of 45 CEOs and founders to partake in a journey of exponential business growth, camaraderie, and personal leadership.
The Seed Transformation Program is Stanford Seed’s flagship 10-month leadership program designed specifically for CEOs and founders, along with their management teams, to identify growth opportunities and formulate actionable plans to revolutionize their businesses. This program, now welcoming Indonesian companies with revenues ranging from $300K to $15M, combines in-person and online learning experiences tailored for business leaders.
“In line with our ambitious global vision, expanding beyond Africa and South Asia was always part of our plan. Extending our footprint to Indonesia is a natural progression in that journey,” says Stanford Seed’s executive director, Darius Teter. “Indonesia has a vast population, pro-growth governance, and a critical mass of companies ripe for exponential growth. Our market analysis reveals that Indonesia is not just a land of opportunity but also a place where we can make an impact by partnering with established entrepreneurs and their management teams.”
Impressive Track Record
Stanford Seed takes pride in the accomplishments of its participants, with 75% reporting increased revenue, 39% engaging in business with fellow participants, and 34% expanding into new markets. To date, past participants from across Africa and South Asia have collectively raised over $1.025 billion in capital.
