Join Impact Collective 2021 as a Community Voter
Not an industry expert? You can still play a huge role in the decision-making process.
Impact Collective (IC), a startup acceleration program focused on Asia-Pacific, wants YOU to join this year’s program as a community voter.
The Power of Collective Intelligence
We believe achieving impact and building sustainable solutions through business strategies is not simply achieved with innovators and entrepreneurs. There cannot be an impact without collaboration. That is why IC consists of a diversity of voices: public and private sector organizations, investors, academic institutions, and of course, consumers who will be the most affected by-products in the market.
We believe in the power of collective intelligence — we can make better and smart decisions as a whole (Read the manifesto ‘Introducing Collective Intelligence to Impact Investing’ by Changseong Ho)
Your Role as a Community Voter
The perspectives and experiences of the general public are vital to highlighting community needs and what solutions can satisfy those needs. As a community voter, you will be contributing to the impact debate and helping decide which solutions will make the most positive economic, social, and environmental impact in the Asia Pacific region.
The top ten startups that are selected will receive USD 50k+ investments for our program investment track and USD 25k to USD 100k for our fast track investment program. But whether or not startups have an opportunity of receiving investment money depends on the input of experts and community voters.
Who Can Participate in the Voting Process
- Experts: leaders in the business innovation and sustainable development field (by recommendation only)
- Community Voters: those who have an active interest and role in the startup community (applications open to all)
Token Voting System
- Both experts and community voters will be allocated a certain number of Impact Collective Voting tokens (ICV).
- They can then cast a certain number of tokens towards as many teams as they like.
- Not all tokens have to be used.
- As long as the voting round has not ended, Community Voters and Experts can also cast the votes to other teams if they like.
Voting Timeline:
- Community voting takes place from November 8th to November 12th to select semi-finalists
