Impact Accelerator
Six months of intensive support and training sessions to take your start–up or solution to the next level in your impact journey.
Our mentors, coaches and networks will work to accelerate your growth and open up new opportunities with talent, investors & suppliers.
We will work with your business to develop it in a sustainable way, while solving some of the world’s greatest challenges as society continues to fight the effects of COVID-19.
We are dedicated to helping founders and innovators like you to create solutions that respond to longstanding economic and social issues, especially where these have been made worse by COVID-19 and build the recovery beyond. If your efforts are not specific to this, then your company should align itself with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including (but not limited to):
- Health & wellbeing
- Care of the elderly
- Job creation & resilient communities
- Education & skill development
- Inequality across education, health, and others
- Homelessness
- Social & eco housing
