We select Impact startups for the innovation they show in following the UN’s SDGs – 17 objectives in the fight for a better world.
We define Impact startups within our network based on four factors:
1. Pursuing one or more of the SDGs through their operations. 
2. Adapting enterprise objectives to be more sustainable. 
3. Solving industry problems that could have a far-reaching effect. 
4. Prioritizing social collaboration and idea-sharing over competition and profit.
