Run a programme
As well as our community of 800+ current and former members, we’ve run more than 50 innovation programmes that have supported almost 150 ventures and initiatives to start, scale, and succeed.
Accelerating impact
We run different programme formats aimed at incubating, accelerating, and scaling ideas and organisations. Each is custom-made to achieve the highest impact, while relying upon tried and tested building blocks.
Looking for new innovations in your field?
Bringing together the right people with the best ideas in an encouraging environment is what we do best. By establishing mutually beneficial relationships with impact innovators in your sector – be it food or female empowerment – you help to grow your industry and increase its knowledge pool.
Our proof of concept
We've watched the magic happen enough times to know that our formula works. From government departments to corporations to foundations, from workshops to sprints to in-depth venture builders – our innovation programmes have created countless success stories for impact entrepreneurs and the organisations who support us to support them. Here are a few of our favourites.
