100x Impact Accelerator 2027/28 Cohort
100x Impact at the London School of Economics
100x Impact at the London School of Economics is seeking ventures with proven social or environmental solutions that could improve the lives of hundreds of millions of people. The accelerator supports ambitious organisations working across eight impact areas, including climate and environment, health and social care, education, equitable economies, wellbeing, refugees and social cohesion, and democracy. Selected ventures receive £150,000 in catalytic funding and a long-term partnership with 100x. Support begins with a tailored 16-week programme focused on funding strategy, impact measurement, leadership and pathways to scale. Participants also gain access to LSE research expertise and connections with advisers, funders, partners and peers. Follow-on funding may be available to selected ventures, subject to fit and funding availability. 100x is looking for impact-first ventures with evidence that their solution works, a capable team, proximity to the communities they serve and a credible route to large-scale impact. The programme aims for 70% of its portfolio to come from emerging markets and values applications whose founders or senior team members are based in the region where the organisation operates. Applications begin with an online eligibility check and full application. Up to 50 teams will progress to an initial interview. Shortlisted teams then enter detailed due diligence between January and April 2027, followed by an independent selection committee. Final outcomes are scheduled for July 2027. Applications for the 2027/28 cohort close on 2 November 2026. The organiser has not stated a closing time or timezone, so applicants should submit early.
