WHAT WE OFFER

Equal focus on business and Impact
We're NOT about growth at all costs. We consider failure to be a business that does really well and forgets about impact as it scales.

Private Slack Channel
You’ll be part of a private slack channel for your cohort AND a private slack channel connecting you to all the Impact Central Alumni (over 50 of them!).
Expert Faculty
You’ll be taught by our expert-faculty who are made up of business experts teaching everything from Business Modelling to Marketing, and everything in between.
Dedicated mentors

Range of learning methods
We know that everyone learns differently, so we’ve developed a wide range of virtual and in-person learning, coaching and communication methods with that in mind.
Online content

WHAT WE ASK FOR

Commitment
We are passionate about seeing impact change the world and need to see that same desire in you. Whilst we’ve designed Impact Central to run alongside operating your start-up, it’s still an intense programme and will require a significant time commitment.
5% equity, no fees
We back businesses that are committed to making big changes happen. That is going to take a few years and a lot of resources. If you make it on our programme, we will pour in our resources at no upfront cost. We bet our return on our ability to help you succeed, which means making really big changes happen. We are fully committed and aligned to your success.
Give back
We’re building a community of founders, advisors, investors and thought-leaders who are passionate about creating positive change. When the community has helped you succeed, we want you to return the favour by helping others.
