How does BMN work?
- BMN provides a free platform to enablers, impact-investors, visionaries and change-makers with the primary objective of facilitating the sharing of skills, training, resources and information to enable Businesses for Good (“B4Gs”), Non-Government Organisations (“NGOs”) and impact projects.
- While we will do our best to ensure that all our members share our vision, members need to do their own assessment of skills providers or other members that they connect with on this platform and conduct their own due diligence on the projects, NGOs and/or B4Gs listed.
- BMN does not curate B4G, NGOs or projects.
BMN is owned by Karios Project Ventures https://www.kairosprojectventures.com/ which is an impact investment holding company dedicated to enabling ventures that seek to transform our world. It is a collaborative effort with a number of NGOs, B4Gs and like-minded individuals.
