Challenging the power dynamics. Enabling incubators to thrive. Amplifying a unified voice.

Transforming the industry, because incremental change isn’t enough._

Through the work of Pollinate Impact, we provide safe and structured opportunities for members to network, build trust, learn, and share with peers and other key stakeholders.  They can become more efficient, effective, and resilient organisations that are then better able to advance the entrepreneurship ecosystem.

As the industry matures, so will the activities of Pollinate Impact.

Coaching & Mentoring

Supporting incubators and their staff at every stage of their lifecycle with one-on-one support and guidance.

Collective Action

Working groups of members who identify and advance specific network priorities.

Tools & Resources

Carefully curated tools and resources to improve the quality and operational effectiveness of impact incubators.  We are going beyond curating by helping incubators put them into practice.

Connections

Weaving the fabric of the Pollinate Impact community by creating intentional connections between members and other key stakeholders in the ecosystem, enabling partnerships to take root, and collaborating to scale impact.

Research

Building a deeper understanding among all stakeholders will transform the system, because very little research exists on what makes impact incubators resilient.  There’s even less evidence for those located in the Global South.  That’s why we are asking the tough questions that no-one else is. 

Convenings

Gathering with the intention to bring together members and other stakeholders within the industry for knowledge sharing sessions, roundtable discussions, ideation workshops, and curated networking events.  We believe the best ideas emerge when people come together not just to listen, but to truly engage.

We have our eye on transformation

Years of experience have taught us that complete transformation occurs in stages over time, like the caterpillar that emerges from its chrysalis as a beautiful butterfly.  The Network supports impact incubators through each stage toward industry transformation.

Because our work is on a larger, systemic level, it’s a long-term play to effect the change we want to see in the impact incubation industry.
