Impact-driven businesses and the entrepreneurs behind them cannot be allowed to fail while the world is convinced of those three things.

Halcyon is the community supporting their progress, and making the public and private sectors ready to receive and embrace impact-driven business.

So Halcyon shows up in that critical moment where viability is proven and scalability is achievable, but where barriers could limit a business’s ability to last – even if that business has the potential to solve a massive global problem.

A Halcyon fellowship or an investment through one of our funding vehicles brings that venture into our community, where it’s met not only with resources, but with people who truly understand the entrepreneur’s journey – and once a venture is part of the Halcyon family, that lasts a lifetime.

Halcyon’s programs infuse essential resources – space, community, or access – specifically for early-stage ventures.

There’s a reason we resist the temptation to focus on “safer” ventures further along in their entrepreneurial journey: brilliant social entrepreneurs encounter barriers that threaten their ability to grow their businesses, and they encounter those barriers earlier and more often than their traditional business counterparts. This is even more true if the entrepreneurs are women or people of color.

What our community is building over time is a foundation that makes capitalism sustainable in the 21st century.

Traditional businesses are prone to envisioning stakeholders as a relatively small group – investors, board members, customers – rather than seeing the way our global community fits in. It’s not in their DNA to think that way. But when impact is built from the ground up, businesses see their stakeholders holistically. It’s a competitive advantage that fuels growth and accelerates solutions to global problems.
