Description
We are looking for Black entrepreneurs who are making a positive impact in their communities. At the Impact Residency, you’ll get the mindset, tools, and network to help you grow your social enterprise and become an extraordinary entrepreneur.
The Residency is a 6-month programme during which you’ll receive 1-on-1 mentoring and coaching, group workshops, and have access to our network of partners and investors. You will be part of a cohort of exceptional founders, and the wider community of The Collective Foundation. The events of the programme run for 3 full days in the first week of each month, during which you will stay at The Collective’s co-living building in Canary Wharf.
The programme is fully funded by The Collective Foundation.
Eligibilities
- Black entrepreneur:
Eligible entrepreneurs will have to have a majority stake or major decision making power in the organisation.
- Social Impact:
Social impact must be the top priority of the start-up. We accept both non-profit and for-profit organisations that align with our four Focus Areas: Economic Opportunity, Health and Wellbeing, Social Integration, and Environmental Sustainability.
- Early Stage Business:
You are able to show us that your product or service has already benefited people. While it’s not a hard rule, we typically work with start-ups that are less than 5 years old and have not yet raised Series A funding.
- Based in the UK
We accept candidates from across the UK. Candidates will, however, need to ensure attendance in London for the monthly event programme (subject to future COVID-19 travel restrictions and public health guidelines).
Benefits
The programme is fully funded and participants will stay at The Collective’s co-living building in Canary Wharf.
- Learn, Engage and Grow
Gain practical tools to grow your business. You will receive 1-on-1 coaching sessions and group workshops, on business fundamentals such as fundraising, marketing and leadership skills.
- Guide, Inspire and Educate
Get paired with a successful entrepreneur or industry leader, who will share knowledge and experience by providing advice, network contacts, and ongoing personal support and encouragement. All mentor matches will be made on a highly personal basis, to suit your needs. Your mentor will be asked to commit at least 10 hours to mentor you during the programme.
- Meet, Connect and Collaborate
Get introduced to our network of partners and investors who have the resources to skyrocket your business. Our network of partners includes BYP Network, Black and Good, OneTech, and Thomson Reuters Foundation.
- Live, Work and Play
The Collective Foundation is the philanthropic arm of The Collective, a property company that creates co-living spaces to build a more connected, inspired and collaborative world.
