JUST ANNOUNCED: The Halcyon Awards are October 20th!
A haven for
big risks &
bold ideas
Halcyon accelerates the impact-driven future of business. We believe there's a competitive advantage to having a social mission in your DNA, and that impact-driven businesses represent a powerful opportunity to drive equity and inclusivity in the workplace and society.
We are the community supporting impact-driven businesses and their founders through space, community, and access. Our programs offer fellowships for social entrepreneurs and funding vehicles to help them scale their ventures.
Fellowships
Since 2014, Halcyon’s fellowships for early-stage social entrepreneurs have provided space, community, and access to over 250 fellows – infusing support at a critical juncture where many impact-driven startups fail.
Investing
Halcyon takes no equity from ventures at the time of their fellowship, but we know that funding gaps disproportionately impact social enterprise founders, women founders, and founders of color. So we stepped into the investing space.
