Cause Collective – Impact Entrepreneur Application

Equal parts think tank, startup incubator and investment fund, Cause Collective is rethinking the way businesses are conceived, built and nurtured.

Cause Collective is a community of venture capitalists, advisors and entrepreneurs committed to addressing the needs of people and planet through sustainable, technological innovation. Our unique “integrative entrepreneurship” model provides a holistic approach to business development through collaboration and open innovation and offers entrepreneurs the resources and opportunities required to realize their vision. Our global ecosystem is comprised of industries ranging from technology and finance to education and the arts. We are currently launching a program to extend membership in this community to select entrepreneurs dedicated to using business as a means of creating lasting and meaningful change in the world.

We're not your conventional accelerator program. We bet on entrepreneurs, not ideas; we're looking for individuals, not teams. We feel that if you bring the right people together, the right ideas and the right teams will manifest at the right time.

Each month, our community of entrepreneurs propose solutions, in the form of pitch decks, to key social and environmental issues that have been identified by our board of thought leaders and industry experts. If your proposal is selected, you and your team will be supported through ongoing financial investment, as well as access to resources and mentorship as you build and scale your business. From idea to exit, we're with you every step of the way.
