What our FMS partners are saying:
Ayla Schlosser, Founder and Executive Director of Resonate
As a busy entrepreneur, traveling between Rwanda and the US and trying to launch a business, having the time to recruit and screen candidates is a major challenge. The benefit of working with FMS is having the program vet top candidates for you.
Zoe Schlag, Unltd USA – Our experience with Cristina, our current FMS Fellow, has been incredibly positive and she has had a significant impact on our ability to find and support early-stage social entrepreneurs. We would be honored to have another fellow.
Anand Kulkarni, CEO of Mobileworks – We are very happy with the FMS candidates we’ve worked with before – we hired our last Fellow into a full-time role. I would love to have some additional Frontier Market Scouts Fellows.
