"As one of the contributors of the Purpose Launchpad methodology, I didn’t want to have just a high-level understanding of it.

The program itself was very well structured with theory, case studies and also a real project to mentor receiving direct feedback from Francisco about everything we did.
The program exceeded my expectations."
