What specific problem are you solving?

Millions of low-income entrepreneurs lack access to practical training, networks, and financial opportunities. In Brazil, informality and structural inequalities disproportionately affect women and Black populations. Existing solutions fail to meet their needs, leaving them underserved and unable to sustainably grow their businesses or escape poverty.

What is your solution?

Tamo Junto is a free, mobile-first digital platform that empowers low-income microentrepreneurs to increase their income and build sustainable businesses. It delivers practical, easy-to-understand courses, mentorship, and guided learning journeys covering pricing, marketing, financial management, digital tools, and entrepreneurial mindset. All content is designed in accessible language, enabling entrepreneurs to quickly apply what they learn in their daily business activities. A key innovation is its “minimum journey” model, which combines online training with group and one-on-one mentorship, ensuring structured support and real results. Through this approach, 76% of participants move above the poverty line within three months. The platform also includes AI-powered assistance (Ana José) and gamified features that drive engagement and completion. By combining technology, education, and human connection, Tamo Junto creates a scalable pathway for economic mobility, transforming entrepreneurship into a proven solution for poverty reduction.

Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?

Tamo Junto serves low-income microentrepreneurs in Brazil, especially those operating in the informal economy and living at or near the poverty line. The majority are women and Black entrepreneurs, often heads of household, with limited access to education, markets, credit, and professional networks. The solution impacts their lives by providing free, accessible entrepreneurship education, mentorship, and ongoing support, enabling them to strengthen their businesses and increase their income. Through practical learning and behavioral development, participants gain confidence, autonomy, and the skills needed to make better financial and business decisions. With structured support entrepreneurs are able to quickly apply knowledge and generate results, with many moving above the poverty line within months. Beyond income, Tamo Junto contributes to greater economic stability, dignity, and long-term opportunity, transforming entrepreneurship into a viable and recognized pathway out of poverty.
