It is visual and engaging. It is a well-designed piece of software which guides you well and provides a good foundation for engaging others. From another perspective, e.g. as an online mentor, it is an accessible way to access some of the data you need to be able to support people, the tool having helped them prioritise.

Difficult to say what you like least when the team is so open to adapting the product to your needs for a realistic development budget.

As one of Babele's first customers, we worked closely to create all the features needed to support us in managing the international projects created by our students in the social entrepreneurship online course. Because it is designed specifically for social businesses and highly adaptable, it was very easy to handle. The community interaction features are a great help to the students and the visual step-by-step business model creation simplified the complex process.

Additional features would have been helpful in different situations, but were mostly developed over time.

As a social enterprise and one of the first users, I did not have to pay anything. The platform was still in early stages and has developed much more functionality since I used it. It is great to see the new features and how the creators are trying to find better ways to help crowd-source acceleration of social enterprises.

At the time I used the platform there were still some bugs with back-and-forth communication with mentors being hard to note or being lost. Also, there was no accountability for mentors to deliver on any commitments they made to the social enterprises. I am not sure if this later point has changed yet.

By using Babele, I was able to expose the mechanics of my company, as well as our mission, our assumptions, our business plan, and our objectives. I was then able to get extremely valuable feedback from a variety of mentors, many times relating to issues that "I didn't know that I didn't know about." This has shaped the growth of my company significantly. The platform is very intuitive to use.

Sometimes it was difficult to interact with the Babele team due to the time zone difference of them being in Europe and me in Central America.
