One hundred times the impact
An accelerator like no other a place where razor sharp radical minds reside and merge — with other minds — your determination to see a world with new eyes coming together with catalytic capital, and, connections to specialists, mentors and policy makers an exercise in collective action skyrocketing social ventures in a space where bravery and breakthroughs are commonplace with one hundred times more reach, more risk taking more expansive impact.
Empowering radical thinkers everywhere to deliver the most impact at scale with world-class research in a world-class accelerator. How? We work together to define your endgame. We reveal groundbreaking ways to amplify your impact – not through endless fundraising – but through tangible, results-driven models like government adoption, digitisation and open source solutions.
Exceptional evidence-based research and access to policymakers means social enterprises can drive real, impactful change at scale.
Catalytic capital, global connections and dedicated support takes social enterprises further than ever before.
We’re looking for innovative impact scale-ups. Applicants should have a proven track record and be ready for their next big leap of growth. In an application, we want to hear from outstanding social entrepreneurs who are bold, collaborative, self-aware and kind. You should be able to demonstrate that your organization offers a game-changing solution that’s already driving positive change. And you must be able to prove that amplifying your impact can result in change on a significant scale. Sound like you?
If you’re an impact-first organization, a registered charity, not-for-profit, or social enterprise, and you’re currently scaling social impact in one of our eight Impact Areas, then you are eligible. We welcome applicants from anywhere in the world, as long as you have a minimum viable product (MVP) and a track record of achieving impact.
We define a social enterprise as an impact-first organization that engages in commercial or business activities such as selling products or services to serve a social mission. Social enterprises may be structured as a non-profit or a for-profit.
