Deadline: November 10, 2025
The 100x Impact Accelerator is inviting applications for its 2026/27 cohort, seeking visionary ventures committed to creating transformative social and environmental change on a global scale.
The focus areas for this programme are Climate and Environment, Democracy, Happiness and Wellbeing, Education, Equitable Economies, Health and Social Care, New Frontiers, and Refugees and Cohesion.
100x aims to identify and support the next generation of social unicorns—impact-first ventures with the ambition to reach hundreds of millions of lives. Eligible ventures can be structured as either non-profit or for-profit organisations, provided they are driven primarily by social or environmental outcomes. Applicants must demonstrate a clear vision for scaling their model, with strong potential for systems-level transformation through approaches such as government integration, partnerships, market transformation, open infrastructure, or digitisation.
While the accelerator values early achievements, it also prioritises ventures with significant traction. Preference will be given to organisations that have already reached at least 50,000 direct users or indirectly impacted 500,000 individuals, raised a minimum of USD 250,000 in capital, built teams of four or more full-time employees, and established partnerships with governments, NGOs, or private sector actors.
Selected participants will receive £150,000 in catalytic funding, personalised mentorship from global experts, access to data-driven insights through LSE, and connections with international philanthropists, business leaders, and policymakers. The accelerator also emphasises diversity by targeting 70% of its portfolio from emerging markets and prioritising female-led ventures, as well as those embedded in the regions they serve.
