Deadline: November 10, 2025
Applications are open for the 100x Impact Accelerator Programme 2026-2027. 100x, a global impact initiative based at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), has launched its search for the next generation of social unicorns —not billion-dollar companies but organisations whose models can positively impact a billion lives.
100x is looking for bold, ambitious, and high-impact social ventures, both for-profit and non-profit, that are addressing the world’s most urgent challenges in climate and environment, healthcare, inequality, migration, education, and democracy, among other areas.
Over the past three years, 100x has built a portfolio of 35 ventures that are already reaching a combined 100 million lives, tackling systemic issues across the globe. Selected ventures will therefore join this growing community of standout ventures such as Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), Noora Health, SwipeRx, Wysa, Labhya, among others that have already achieved significant global recognition and are now poised to scale their solutions further through sustained partnership and tailored support from 100x.
Benefits
- Social ventures chosen for the 2026/27 cohort will receive £150,000 unrestricted grant funding with a chance to access further catalytic capital after the programme. Ventures will also leverage 100x’s bespoke accelerator programme and LSE’s world-class insights and expertise to scale their impact.
Eligibility
- You can be registered and/or operating from anywhere in the world.
- You have a clear vision for reaching hundreds of millions of lives through your intervention, that may also shift an entire system or market. They prioritise ventures with a credible route to systems-level change, whether through replication, open infrastructure, market transformation, or integration into public or private delivery systems.
- You are delivering impact in at least one of the eight impact areas:
- Climate and Environment
- Democracy
- Happiness and Wellbeing
- Education
- Equitable Economies
- Health and Social Care
- New Frontiers
- Refugees and Cohesion
- Venture is explicitly focused on social or environmental impact. You may be structured as a non-profit or a for-profit
