Tackling Complex Societal Challenges Through Inclusive Entrepreneurship

“We are continually faced with great opportunities which are brilliantly disguised
as unsolvable problems.”

Margaret Mead

About Impact Shakers

With Impact Shakers we tackle complex societal challenges through inclusive entrepreneurship.

We believe entrepreneurship is the best vehicle for change and people are the best at solving problems they know through experience. To tackle more complex problems through entrepreneurship we need more diverse entrepreneurs and we need to activate all of this underused problem-solving potential.

We work to bridge the gap between impact and profit and to build and scale stronger ventures. We are part of a global movement working on making impact a logical part of every business model. Making the impact economy, just the economy.

To help make this shift, we approach this from an impact ecosystem perspective. In our venture studio we help build and scale impact ventures, we host an online community and a knowledge hub, and are raising our first micro fund. In Impact Shakers Labs we work on experimental impact entrepreneurship projects.
