Impact Col­lec­tives

We sup­port impact star­tups with our Impact Col­lec­tives

Impact col­lec­tives are our net­works of star­tups and estab­lished orga­ni­za­tions unit­ed by shared goals, span­ning across var­i­ous sec­tors.

Through inter­con­nect­ing these col­lec­tives, we cre­ate a mul­ti­fac­eted and inter­con­nect­ed plat­form for col­lec­tive impact against the poly­cri­sis.

How do we work as a col­lec­tive?

Col­lec­tive Impact
Sum­mit

In May and Octo­ber of each year, our com­mu­ni­ty meets at the Col­lec­tive Impact Sum­mit in Berlin.
It includes a col­lec­tive meet­up, start­up pitch­es, expert keynotes, and a net­work­ing evening.

Bi-month­ly
online mee­tups

In a reg­u­lar for­mat we meet to grow and learn togeth­er on user group inputs, research insights, reg­u­la­to­ry changes and coop­er­a­tion expe­ri­ences.

Infor­mal exchanges


We encour­age con­ti­nous exchange with­in the col­lec­tive to share knowl­edge, find solu­tions to joint chal­lenges and learn from each oth­er.

If we are work­ing towards the same goals, why not togeth­er?

Become a col­lec­tive mem­ber!

We believe in the pow­er of col­lab­o­ra­tion to change sys­tems for the bet­ter. That is why we unite impact star­tups with diverse stake­hold­ers from diverse indus­tries in our col­lec­tives. Each mem­ber brings spe­cif­ic knowl­edge to the table:

  • Research insti­tutes pro­vide the col­lec­tive with sci­ence-based infor­ma­tion and up-to-date research insights and ensure that our ini­tia­tives are ground­ed in the lat­est sci­en­tif­ic knowl­edge.
  • NGOs bring in the voice of the com­mu­ni­ty and advo­cate for social and envi­ron­men­tal caus­es, ensur­ing that our projects are aligned with the needs and con­cerns of the broad­er soci­ety.
  • Gov­ern­ments pro­vide reg­u­la­to­ry frame­works and pol­i­cy guid­ance, and help us nav­i­gate legal land­scapes.
  • Busi­ness­es have the mar­ket expe­ri­ence and oper­a­tional exper­tise, and can sup­port the col­lec­tive in ensur­ing eco­nom­ic via­bil­i­ty.
  • Foun­da­tions bring vast expe­ri­ences on how to nav­i­gate dif­fer­ent stake­hold­ers that work for a joint cause, which helps us to improve our ways of col­lab­o­ra­tion in the col­lec­tive.
