LSE Launches £50 Million Initiative to Nurture High-Potential Social Enterprises and Create 'Social Unicorns'"

The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) has launched a new programme called the 100x Impact Accelerator.

The programme is designed to support high-potential social enterprises with the goal of maximising their impact. The £50mn global initiative is dedicated to creating a new generation of "social unicorns" and is currently accepting applications.

The programme will provide selected social enterprises with a £150,000 grant, access to LSE's expertise, and a 12-week programme of support from experts and social unicorn founders.

The programme will support two cohorts of ten social enterprises per year, with 70% of these coming from emerging markets, across eight sectors that align with LSE's research priorities.

The deadline to apply for the first cohort is 10th March 2023.
