HIPE Stories is a show about High Impact Pinoy Entrepreneurs. These are entrepreneurs who are based in the Philippines who have the most disruptive ideas, scale their business to a big success, then go on to do something special—they pay it forward by helping the next generation of entrepreneurs. In the process, they turbocharge the entrepreneur ecosystem and create an economic multiplier effect. The multiplier effect is what makes entrepreneurial ecosystems thrive and this is something HIPE Stories will explore in its episodes with High Impact Pinoy Entrepreneurs.
