Are you leading a bold social or environmental venture that’s poised to transform millions of lives? Then this opportunity is for you.
What’s This All About?
The 100x Impact Accelerator Programme – based at London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) – is now open for applications for its 2026-2027 cohort.
The goal? To identify ventures (non-profit or for-profit) that aren’t just chasing financial gains, but are tackling systemic global challenges: climate, environment, healthcare, migration, education, democracy and more.
What’s at Stake?
- A £150,000 unrestricted grant for each selected venture — yes, you can use it however you need to propel your impact.
- Access to 100x’s bespoke accelerator programme + LSE’s world-class research, insights and network.
- The chance to join an elite community. Over the past three years, 100x has supported 35 ventures that now collectively reach 100 million+ lives.
- Additional catalytic capital opportunities after the initial grant.
Who Should Apply?
Your organisation could be a great fit if:
- You’re registered and/or operating from anywhere in the world.
- You have a bold vision: reaching hundreds of millions of lives, or shifting an entire system or market.
- Your intervention is operating in one (or more) of the eight focus areas:
- Climate & Environment
- Democracy
- Happiness & Well-being
- Education
- Equitable Economies
- Health & Social Care
- New Frontiers
- Refugees & Cohesion
- Climate & Environment
- Impact is at the heart of your model (whether non-profit or profit) — you’re about changing the world and scaling it.
Why It Matters for Africa & Emerging Markets
For African (and other Global South) innovators, this kind of support is a game-changer.
- Getting unrestricted capital means you’re not boxed in by rigid conditions.
- Associating with a global accelerator like 100x + LSE elevates your credibility.
- The shared community means you’re not alone — you’ll be connecting with peers who are tackling big issues across the world.
- If you’re working on systemic change (market transformation, infrastructure, public/private delivery systems) this programme is tailored for you.
