Welcome and thank you for applying to the
Social Impact Accelerator!
We're excited about your interest in the program. This program is designed to help individuals and early stage businesses with a social impact business idea to 1) clarify their mission, 2) understand their customers, and 3) design sustainable business models.
Social Impact businesses are different from other businesses and have a different set of challenges than other businesses. This program is designed for Social Impact businesses. We use the following definition as a guide:
"A for-profit business with a social and/or environmental mission that aims to solve a social or environmental problem through its business model."
However, even if you think your business may be a non-profit, please feel free to apply as we are open to folks who are looking to change the world for the better. Regardless if you are for-profit or non-profit, through this program you will gain valuable information to best set you up to create a sustainable and impactful organization to solve some of the toughest problems our society faces.
Social Impact Accelerator is being offered at the following LaunchBox locations; Abington, Berks, Happy Valley, Hazelton, and York. If your local LaunchBox or Innovation Space is not listed above there are in-person, hybrid, and virtual options available.
We are so excited to get your application and look forward to having you as a par of our program. Applications end March 27th at 11:59 PM.
