“At One10, we receive so many pitches from people who get lost between the idea and the execution, lacking the skills or process to create a viable, sustainable and impactful business. These people are looking for more than just a business plan, they’re looking for commercial support to work through the actionable steps in developing and commercialising their idea. That’s why we’ve created the One10 Activate Program.” (Geoff Gourley, One10 founder)

The program is valued at $50,000, but is subsidised by One10 and will be delivered for $25,000 per startup. It will be run in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Geelong.

    About One10

    One10 is Australia’s leading social enterprise accelerator. We are on a mission to enable 1,000 purpose-driven businesses to be sustainable and successful. We aim to grow the social enterprise sector and increase uptake of socially and environmentally responsible practices, products and services.

    We work with all stages of business from seed through to scale enterprises to create high-growth, high impact businesses. We also offer services to assist not-for-profits in exploring a more commercial lens that reduces dependency on grants and government funding. Our goal is to increase the deal flow for impact investments, so that impact investing is no longer a niche area, but a mainstream practice by both individual and corporate investors.

    One10 creates an ecosystem for people pursuing business solutions to environmental and societal problems. Despite having innovative solutions, the moving parts of purpose-driven businesses often fall into old habits and work in silos. We help build the capacities of social entrepreneurs to develop products and services with positive impact, through acceleration programs. At One10, we actively work to dissolve these silos and enable a connected and collaborative purpose-driven startup ecosystem for all entrepreneurs.
