ABSTRACT

Impact Collective (IC) is a community-driven investment and acceleration program for startups creating social and environmental impact in Asia Pacific (APAC). The program brings together a wide array of partners and is powered by TheVentures, a Seoul-based, early-stage venture capital, and Citypreneurs, a UN-backed startup initiative co-organized by WFUNA, UNDP, UNESCAP, WeGO, and city governments. IC aims to redefine the capital model for impact-driven startups in the APAC region by bringing the collective intelligence of community and local experts into business incubation and investment decision-making processes, facilitated by a tokenized voting system hosted on IC’s online platform.
