Some background on this initiative…

Our annual entrepreneurial awards ceremony assembles purpose-driven entrepreneurs and inducts them into the Brand YOUth community. Our celebration was more than an event or a feel-good occasion. It was an opportunity to celebrate their achievements but also an urgent call for a national partnership with young entrepreneurs.

When the “40 Under 40” program started in 2019, Brand YOUth set out to identify the purpose-driven entrepreneurs; Guyanese under the age of 40 who believe in giving back to their communities.

“We made an idea into a reality, but it isn’t enough. We want to do more.”

Those Special Individuals

The community of individuals and the organizations that they represent are impressive! You dine in their restaurants, conduct business with them, sit on philanthropic boards with them and run industry-leading organizations with them.

They have an innovative, entrepreneurial spirit that propel the economy today and will for years to come.

We see a clear line between our community of purpose-driven entrepreneurs and our goal to help develop Guyana for ALL Guyanese.
