Accelerator Program for Socially-Conscious Entrepreneurs, GoodCompany Ventures, Launches in Philadelphia
April 2, 2009
peHUB is reporting that a new Philadelphia-based “venture-style incubator program” is being formed for socially-conscious entrepreneurs. The program is called GoodCompany Ventures.
The press release elaborates further:
GoodCompany Ventures, a team of social finance investors and start-up experts, today announced the launch of a business incubator targeting entrepreneurs with innovative solutions to unmet social needs. The program will provide facilities, mentoring and access to a network of capital sources to qualified entrepreneurs whose business models offer investors an attractive mix of financial return and social impact. The program will culminate in a venture fair where companies will pitch their ideas to investors.
…
Applicants will be recruited nationally via venture capital, social finance, and academic networks. A pool of eight to twelve candidates will be selected to participate in the 2009 incubator program that begins in June.
It’s exciting to see a new accelerator program focused on promoting socially-conscious ventures and even moreso that this program will be based in Philadelphia.
Applications are being accepted until April 20.
