I set out to meet 10 interesting people in a single day — and what an incredible journey it turned out to be! Join me as I walk through ImpactFest 2025, meet inspiring entrepreneurs, volunteers, and professionals, and reflect on the real challenges and rewards of connecting with others. At The Symbiosis Foundation, we believe that connections strengthen collaboration, and collaboration amplifies social impact. This video is a raw, honest look at networking in a professional setting — from feeling nervous in a room full of experts to discovering unexpected opportunities to collaborate and innovate. 💡What you’ll see in this video:
First impressions walking into a buzzing networking event, Conversations with entrepreneurs, volunteers, and investors, Lessons learned from connecting with many people in one day, Tips on building authentic, meaningful connections at professional events

This intro video was created by Kingsley, one of our Core Team members, using just PowerPoint and Microsoft Stream. It reflects what Symbiosis is all about – making things happen with the tools you have and a clear mission.

In a world full of silos, collaboration can seem like a rare thing. But history has proven that when people and organizations work together, they achieve breakthroughs that would be impossible alone. In this video, I share how collaboration led to some of the world’s biggest achievements — like the global vaccine rollout, the James Webb Space Telescope, and the Human Genome Project. But the truth is, collaboration isn’t always easy. There are barriers, competition, and hidden information that make working together harder than it should be. That’s where the Symbiosis Foundation comes in. We’re building a platform that removes the barriers to collaboration and helps mission-driven organizations, nonprofits, and volunteers co-create solutions, share resources, and maximize positive impact — together. If you believe collaboration is the future, this is the place for you. Join us in making a lasting difference.
