For the past three years, Nico has had a deep passion in entrepreneurship and social development. Intrigued by the intersection of technology in the startup environment, Nico has shifted his focus towards D4i as an opportunity to advance and develop his understandings of CSR business models. As a strong believer that social change is best sustainable when fostered through social enterprises, he has looked at D4i as an opportunity to take place in a rapidly shifting and malleable environment.
As a part of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship program at Avenues, Nico was granted six in months to develop an effective CSR revenue model for D4i to operate within. Over this time period, he will pursue mentors, develop pitches, and eventually build a network of potential sponsoring corporations. As an Avenues incubated startup, D4i has tremendous room to expand into the world of self-sufficiency. Nico will be pursuing this development in order to take D4i to the next level.
