Supporting social ventures
We are a collective of UK universities working collaboratively to support and raise awareness of mission-driven businesses emerging from our ecosystems.
We have an exciting new initiative, ImpactU, to provide training to UK universities and funding to pre-seed social ventures from English universities.

Bringing change, to people and places, by accelerating the development of impact-led projects
Each member university of ImpactU is passionate about delivering positive impact from innovative solutions focussing on health, wellbeing, society and the environment. Our projects emerge from research, student entrepreneurial activity, accelerators, and entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Our ImpactU training, led by LSE and available across the UK will provide learning and support to founders and universities.
