The real purpose of SLP
Lest we forget
11 million children will die of preventable causes
this year. Millions of adults will die of hunger, poverty
and disease
This is our responsibility. Our startups may not
change the world. But our knowledge, connections and resources may. So in our lifetimes, we should
try.

“We want to help our entrepreneurs to be very
successful. Then we want them to commit their wealth and
resources to work on one Millenium Goal in their lifetime” - Anupendra
