The Founder We're Looking For

The Founder We're Looking For

The Founder We're Looking For

You are already doing the work. You have spent years on the ground, solving a real problem for a community that needs it.

You know your space deeply — who the people are, what they need, and why existing solutions fall short.

Now you're ready for the next step: turning what you've built into something that can scale.

Specifically, ACTIVA works with founders who:

  • Are running an NGO, social enterprise, or grassroots initiative in Latin America or the Global South

  • Have early, real-world proof that their approach works

  • Have a clear vision for growth — and understand that reaching more people requires better tools, systems, and strategy

  • Do not need to have a technical or software background

If you are a seasoned activist or social entrepreneur ready to transition from doing to scaling, you are exactly who we are building this for.

What You'll Build Together With Us

ACTIVA Studio works hands-on alongside you — not as a consultant, but as a builder. We take your organisation from zero to one.


Building your digital product


We design and develop the digital tools your organisation needs to operate at scale. This might be a platform to reach your users, a system to manage and track your operations, or a product that enables a new revenue stream.


We use AI, no-code, and low-code tools where appropriate to move fast and keep costs low.

You own the final product. We make sure it is built right.


Developing your strategy and business model


Building the right digital product requires more than code — it requires a clear strategy for how the product creates value and how your organisation sustains itself around it.


Alongside the build, we work with you to define your product's go-to-market approach, identify revenue opportunities your digital solution can unlock, and develop a business model that makes your organisation financially sustainable — not indefinitely dependent on donations.

How the Partnership Works

How the Partnership Works

How the Partnership Works

You bring the WHAT — your knowledge of the problem, your community, your vision for what needs to exist.


We bring the HOW — the technical delivery, the strategic frameworks, and the network to get you there.

This is a long-term partnership. You will work closely with an ACTIVA project manager and technical adviser throughout. You will be expected to lead — defining the need, engaging deeply in scoping, and ensuring your product is adopted by the people it is built for.
