We are a small but mighty collective of business owners, skilled professionals and aspiring minds.
Our story all began with solving our problems. We wanted to launch a business, that helped accelerate business owners or entrepreneurs to the next chapter to build something more.
At Double Me, our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to solve our own challenges as aspiring entrepreneurs while creating opportunities for others. We recognised the transformative power of skilled assistance in accelerating business growth, and simultaneously, we saw an opportunity to break the cycle of generational poverty through meaningful employment. This dual mission led us to create a unique platform that matches ambitious business owners with talented virtual assistants from underserved communities.
By providing these assistants with stable income, skill development, and career growth opportunities, we're not just helping businesses thrive—we're enabling dreams and building a more equitable future. Our innovative approach allows entrepreneurs to leapfrog into their next chapter of growth while creating a ripple effect of positive change. At Double Me, we believe in the power of connection to drive success and social impact, proving that when we lift others, we all rise together.
Our impact
Double Me aims to contribute to positive outcomes:
At Double Me, we're committed to breaking the cycle of generational poverty through meaningful employment. Our innovative approach matches individuals with virtual assistant opportunities, providing not just a job, but a pathway to economic empowerment. By offering stable income, skill development, and career growth potential, we aim to create lasting change that extends beyond the individual to benefit entire families and communities. Our model addresses the root causes of poverty, reduces systemic inequalities, and fosters sustainable economic growth. Through this work, we're not just providing employment; we're enabling dreams, strengthening families, and building a more equitable future for generations to come.
Economic empowerment: Stable employment provides families with increased income, often tripling household earnings. This financial stability is crucial for meeting basic needs and creating opportunities for future generations.
1
Skill development: By helping individuals gain employment, you're likely providing them with valuable skills and work experience. This enhances their long-term employability and earning potential.
2
Breaking the cycle: Children of employed parents are less likely to experience poverty themselves, as they benefit from improved resources and positive role models.
3
Addressing disparities: If your model focuses on groups disproportionately affected by poverty, such as women or marginalized communities, it can help reduce systemic inequalities.
4
Holistic approach: Effective poverty reduction often requires addressing multiple factors. If your employment services are complemented by other supports (e.g., education, childcare, financial literacy), this comprehensive approach can be particularly impactful.
5
Long-term impact: By focusing on sustainable employment rather than short-term assistance, your model likely aims for lasting change that can benefit multiple generations.

7
Improved child outcomes: Parental employment and increased family income are associated with better health, educational, and behavioral outcomes for children, further supporting the break from intergenerational poverty.
To maximise impact, Double Me strives to:
Tailor services to local job markets and individual needs
Provide ongoing support to ensure job retention and career advancement
Collaborating with employers to create opportunities for our clients
Measuring long-term outcomes to demonstrate the intergenerational effects of your work
