Light Civic Accelerator CivicX
Fall 2017 Civic Accelerator
How might we equip and connect those who are underemployed to sustainable jobs in the innovation economy?
The Points of Light Civic Accelerator "CivicX" is the first national accelerator program and investment fund in the country focused on "civic ventures" — for-profit and nonprofit early stage ventures that include people as part of the solution to critical social problems. The 10-week, boot camp-style program convenes 10-15 teams in person and online with the goal of equipping each venture to seek investments and scale their social innovation.
