Can Your Startup Positively Impact a Billion People?

Do you have a brilliant idea or startup that could positively impact a billion people within a decade? Do you need support to prove the concept, get investment-ready, and put it in front of the right investors at the right time?  

The iFutures Global Impact Accelerator is working with its first cohort, bringing selected “Impact Startups” to the attention of well-aligned investors.

We take applications on a rolling basis and consider each one on its potential for positive impact. You can apply from anywhere in the world and do not have to relocate to London.

We are particularly keen to invite parent-led startups, since most accelerators exclude them by requiring relocation for 3-6 months. We have designed our program to be flexible to provide maximum support for founders, irrespective of their location, family responsibilities and current finances.

We are also particularly keen to reach out to women-led startups. We understand the reasons why brilliant women with great companies may feel less inclined to apply to traditional tech accelerators. The same for older entrepreneurs – please do apply, this is not just for 20/30-somethings.

We are an equal opportunities organisation and select on the basis of ability, attitude and the strength of the business model.

Do you have a brilliant idea or startup that could positively impact a billion people within a decade? Do you need support to prove the concept, get investment-ready, and put it in front of the right investors at the right time?

Gherkin, Shard… London’s Next Iconic Tower?

A new tower to puncture London’s skyline is being planned in stealth mode, led by a group of tech multi-millionaires, global NGOs and impact investors hungry to accelerate positive change in the world.

The tower – dubbed the “Innovation Collaboratorium” – will be a spectacular symbol of the power of entrepreneurship, and of London’s global leadership as the world’s foremost creative, collaborative and connected city.

There are many tech innovation centres around the world, from Silicon Valley to Bangalore, incubating ambitious high-growth startups.  The twist here is that the project is solely open to entrepreneurs who are actively applying the power of tech to solving humanity’s global grand challenges.  Impact Entrepreneurs, building Impact Startups, backed by Impact Investors.

The design is closely guarded, with the project manager breaking into a smile when asked about it: “It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before.”
