Seasons
Rising

When the right moment meets the right support, small businesses don't just survive. They rise. Seasons Rising exists to give under-resourced businesses their season of transformation.

Our Purpose

Every business deserves a digital future.

We know what real consulting costs. And we know that for many small and micro-businesses, the ones run by people who work hardest and earn least, that cost is simply out of reach. Seasons Rising is our commitment to change that. Through pro bono engagements delivered by our Emerging Fellows in the Growth Studio, we take on a select number of high-impact digital projects each intake period for businesses who qualify and who demonstrate genuine readiness to grow.

"The work we do for profit funds the work we do for purpose, and both make us better at what we do."

What We Offer

Focused, meaningful digital support.

Seasons Rising projects are scoped to deliver genuine impact in a defined timeframe. We focus on foundational digital work that unlocks momentum. Not endless engagements, but the right interventions at the right time.

A professional web presence that tells your story and opens doors.

Simple app or tool

Light digital solutions that save time and serve your customers.

Who Can Apply

For businesses that need it most.

Seasons Rising is designed for registered businesses experiencing genuine financial hardship who have a clear digital need and the organisational readiness to act on the support they receive. Applications are selective. Not because we want to exclude, but because limited capacity means we must prioritise where impact is greatest.

  • Registered business entity with valid business registration in your country of operation
  • Demonstrated financial hardship, verified through 3 years of public or submitted financial statements
  • A specific, scoped digital need (not a broad transformation mandate)
  • A compelling position statement explaining the business case and expected impact
  • Genuine readiness. Someone in the business who will own and maintain the outcome
