Impact Story
There are two challenges facing early-stage impact entrepreneurs. The first is that the capital and management expertise globally is concentrated in a small set of cities. The second is that social entrepreneurs often receive funding from foundations and government - two entities that don't attend accelerators and demo days. We have created a global network of accelerators focused on nominating social enterprises and connecting them with accelerators and entrepreneurs.
Diverse Social Enterprise
The TRANSFORM Support Hub is committed to accelerating diverse owned and led enterprises to build more equitable and resilient supply chains.
