The world is being hit by sev­er­al crises simul­ta­ne­ous­ly, which are mutu­al­ly depen­dent.

The World Eco­nom­ic Forum refers to them as the poly­cri­sis.

Our Mis­sion:
Empow­er­ing impact star­tups in
cre­at­ing col­lec­tive impact
for the poly­cri­sis.

We sup­port star­tups to become impact star­tups and cre­ate con­nec­tions with diverse stake­hold­ers, from var­i­ous indus­tries, to address the poly­cri­sis in a more holis­tic way.

It involves coor­di­nat­ed action, shared mea­sure­ment sys­tems, and con­tin­u­ous com­mu­ni­ca­tion to achieve impact­ful and sus­tain­able change.

Our Ser­vices

To sup­port promis­ing star­tups work­ing on tack­ling the poly­cri­sis and to turn them into impact cat­a­lysts, we have devel­oped two main ser­vices:

Impact
Accel­er­a­tor
Pro­gram

In our 6‑month accel­er­a­tor pro­gram, we sup­port par­tic­i­pants in impact busi­ness mod­el­ling, impact man­age­ment and impact report­ing. We offer coach­ing, men­tor­ing, group train­ing and ses­sions with 100+ experts from our com­mu­ni­ty.

Col­lec­tives

Impact col­lec­tives are our net­works of star­tups and estab­lished orga­ni­za­tions unit­ed by shared goals, span­ning across var­i­ous sec­tors. We meet to grow and learn togeth­er on user group inputs, research insights, reg­u­la­to­ry changes and coop­er­a­tion expe­ri­ences.
