- companies towards a better future!
Please note that the first application period for the Zebra Impact Academy is over, but it is still possible to apply so we will save it for the next application period which we will announce later this spring.
Welcome to Zebra Impact Academy – a program for companies striving to make a difference in society.
Companies applying to the program may be led by one or more individuals, but the crucial aspect is the shared desire to bring about societal change, such as contributing to social improvements, public health, security, or inclusion.
"We established Zebra Impact
Academy to provide more
companies with the right values
the necessary tools to
secure their finances."
Together with other aspiring Zebra entrepreneurs, our tailored program will enhance your offerings to highlight and clarify the social impact of your business, making you more appealing to customers and investors.
Zebra Impact Academy aims to support and transform the conditions for businesses where good values take precedence over profit motives. We also want you to connect with capital. Currently, too few Zebra businesses have access to investments from both society and private investors. We aim to change that! This initiative is the result of a collaboration between Founders Loft, Coompanion, and Mikrofonden, funded by Vinnova.
Be part of the change and apply to Zebra Impact Academy starting in February 2024! Application deadline is January 14th
Cost: None, we finance the project in collaboration with Vinnova, making this project possible. The project is driven by entities passionate about ensuring that you Zebras have a more prominent presence in the business world.
When: Daytime, 10-15% of a full-time schedule, February to May.
Where: Digital – Everyone can participate, from Alestenar to Treriksröset.
