The cube programme

A problem-centred venture building programme for aspiring social entrepreneurs

It is our pleasure to announce the launch of the second year of the Impact Cube programme – a two term programme for aspiring and established student social entrepreneurs launched in collaboration with the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship.

Curriculum

Being part of a team grants access to a social entrepreneurship curriculum to introduce key skills, building an MVP, business model planning, incorporation, and funding

Talent Sourcing

If you have a great idea but no team, we help you recruit co-founders. We also help established teams recruit new co-founders to compliment their backgrounds.

Mentorship

Each team is assigned a senior professional with key experiences to mentor their project.

Network

We also use the Impact Cube network to link the maturing projects to relevant industry and sector experts.

Resources and Brand Building

We give you access to funding opportunities, competitions, networks, and accelerators.

Funding

We support pitch-deck development and organise pitch-days locally in Oxford and elsewhere.

Who can apply?

Anyone with an idea or early-stage social start-up can apply to join. You may be located anywhere in the world, but at least one team member must be a student or alumni at an affiliated Impact Cube University. If you are a founder or team from abroad, we can team you up with someone at one of our University Cube to make you eligeble.

What does it entail?

If your application is approved, you will be enrolled at an Impact Cube programme ran through one of our affiliated Universities. This grans you get access to all of our support, including the Social Shifters curriculum, a mentor, our network, funding guidance, and recruitment assistance.

The programme spans across two academic terms to support student teams every step of the way from ideation through to becoming a viable social enterprise. At the end of the year, we hope to see a number of teams at a spinoff-ready stage.

You should expect to work in the team until the end of the academic year where your teams may incorporate and compete for awards and prizes.
