Introducing the Human Capital Initiative
In an ever-evolving world, where technology is a powerful tool for change, GatherVerse Ventures and Impact Innovation Foundation are propelling that transformation by launching the Human Capital Initiative.
Through this venture, we aim to connect, inspire and support innovative minds focused on bettering humankind through technology.
As we build this global platform, we welcome you to join our mission and contribute to this global shift.
The Human Capital Initiative
The Human Capital Initiative (HCI) is a groundbreaking initiative developed by the Impact Innovation Foundation in partnership with GatherVerse Ventures.
HCI is a vibrant ecosystem of collaboration and empowerment bringing together subject matter experts, visionaries, and resources from around the world. It is within this collaborative environment that social impact startups and organizations flourish, creating innovative solutions that address pressing global challenges.
Together, we embark on a journey of collective impact, fueled by the power of human capital. HCI empowers social impact startups and organizations by providing them with the essential resources, mentorship, education, and funding they need to seed growth and make a lasting difference.
This fund initiative plays a multifaceted role in driving social change. We provide essential capital to social impact startups and organizations that have successfully graduated from our supportive programs.
Additionally, HCI covers the expenses of Leading Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) that deliver crucial educational programs and fellowships. These programs help potential applicants meet the prerequisites for funding. Furthermore, we bear the costs associated with the Institute for Impact Funding (IIF) to manage and facilitate the Human Capital Initiative.
This includes conducting comprehensive research around each social impact startup that receives our funding. Our integrated approach allows us to nurture and support social innovators at various stages, amplifying their impact on communities they serve.
HCI Pledge Partnerships
As a Pledge Partner, your commitment holds the power to catalyze lasting social change.
Pledge Partners play a pivotal role in advancing our mission to empower startups with preparation, education, and the resources crucial for launch and traction building.
We Support our Pledge Partners through our Education and Fellowship Programs.
How Pledges Work
Pledge partnership drives real-world impact and your investments steer innovation towards a better future. Together, we can ensure the success of viable social impact solutions.
Pledge operates on a two-fold principle:
- Donate 20% of your pledge directly into IIF as a tax-deductible donation upon making Pledge.
- In a Letter of Intent, state the remaining 80% of your pledge will be invested over the course of 3 years into viable social impact startups who complete our education and fellowship programs.
