CORPORATE & FOUNDATION PARTNERS•SEAT-LEVEL FUNDING

Fund a seat.Not a slogan.

We ask for money in one honest unit: a named young person, in a named place, followed for twelve months after they finish. Everything else is detail.

Four ways in

Choose the level you want to move at.

Each one is costed per seat underneath, so you can compare us against anything else on your desk.

See how we measure
  1. 01

    Fund Access seats

    The cleanest unit of impact we have. A named young person, a device, a mentor and twelve classes.

  2. 02

    Sponsor an Impact Challenge track

    Underwrite a challenge track end to end: mentors, judging, prize pool and the build support behind it.

  3. 03

    Place a corporate challenge

    Bring a real operational problem. Builder teams work it for eight to twelve weeks with your team in the room.

  4. 04

    Back the Challenge Network

    Fund the NGO side: problem intake, translation into briefs, and the handover that makes the tool stick.

The case for support

What one seat carries.

We are new, so we publish no figures yet. The method behind a funded seat is published, and you can audit it before you commit a rupee, dollar or pound.

What we commit to

Five promises we will not quietly drop.

  • You get a named contact for the life of the partnership, not a shared inbox.
  • You get the cohort's real numbers, including the ones that disappoint us.
  • You get outcomes tracked twelve months past graduation, not on graduation day.
  • You will never be sent a photograph of a young person framed as a beneficiary.
  • We will decline funding that requires us to claim results we have not measured.

Terms in plain words

What you are actually buying.

Seat

One fully funded Access Fellowship place: twelve classes, mentor time, device access where needed, and follow-through to twelve months.

Cohort

A named group in a named place, reported as a group so you can see the spread of outcomes rather than the best case.

Track

A challenge theme in the Impact Challenge, climate, health, livelihoods, learning, carried from brief to final judging.

Reporting

Quarterly progress, an annual outcomes report, and access to the underlying method. Figures are published as XX until they are measured.

Due diligence

Ask us the hard question first. We would rather answer it now.

Governance, safeguarding, data handling, unit economics, what happens to a cohort if a grant ends mid-way, all of it is written down and available before you sign anything.

Partnerships

Start a funding conversation.

Tell us the scale you are considering and what you need to see before you can commit. We will send the funding pack and a date.

We use what you send here to reply to you and nothing else. Under-18s should have a parent, guardian or teacher send the enquiry with them.
