Our accelerator
Helping founders build redemptive ventures
A mentor-driven, cross-sector training programme that connects entrepreneurs with peers, mentors, networks and funders who share their values — and helps founders grow into redemptive leaders.
What to expect
Twelve ventures are admitted each year. The curriculum runs across three in-person gatherings totalling twelve days, built around roundtables, one-on-one mentoring and a public pitch event. It is a safe space, with faith as the common thread.
