What does 100x Impact do?

100x Impact is a social impact accelerator based at the London School of Economics (LSE). Its mission is to scale social innovations that can positively affect millions of people. The initiative combines evidence-based research with entrepreneurship to drive systemic change. Supported by a £55 million philanthropic gift, 100x partners with LSE's Marshall Institute to provide extensive support to selected social ventures. The organization offers a 12-week hybrid accelerator program that includes mentorship, access to LSE's research, and connections with policymakers and business leaders. Each selected venture receives £150,000 in grant capital and opportunities for follow-on investment. 100x focuses on highly scalable social ventures addressing global challenges in areas such as climate, education, health, and social cohesion. It particularly targets ventures from Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, welcoming applicants from over 100 countries. Since its launch, 100x has supported 35 ventures, impacting 144 million lives across 45 countries.
