The Halcyon Incubator is accepting applications for its Fall 2016 cohort! We are looking for early stage social entrepreneurs to participate in an 18-month residency-based fellowship program in Washington, DC. The fellowship includes FREE housing + workspace, mentorship, pro bono support from elite partners like Deloitte, Arnold & Porter, and Amazon Web Services, a $10K stipend, and so much more! Our priority is social impact; we do not take equity in the ventures we support. The online application will close at 5:00 P.M. Eastern on May 3, 2016.

The Halcyon Incubator supports Fellows in numerous ways and enables them to build sustainable ventures with the capacity to change the world.

Fellows accepted into the program will have access to the following resources:

Strategic Venture Resources - The Halcyon Incubator has partnered with some of the leading firms in the community to advise and directly support the Fellows’ ventures. During the course of the program, Fellows receive more than 1,000 hours (in aggregate) of:

• Strategy and operations consulting provided by Deloitte

• Legal and business advice through Arnold and Porter LLP and Tandem Legal

• Communications, public relations, and marketing assistance through Sage Communications

• Accounting and financial training from KPMG

• One-on-one executive coaching provided in partnership with The HR Sage

World-Class Network of Mentors and Advisors - The Halcyon Incubator builds a community of support around the Fellows by bringing together a robust network of seasoned entrepreneurs, experienced change-makers, and leaders in the government, nonprofit, and for-profit sectors.

• Each venture is paired with an experienced, field-specific mentor who provides weekly guidance and support during the Residency Phase.

• Select dinners and events engage Fellows with a robust network of supporters, advisors, and potential funders.

Residency, Business and Living Expenses - The Halcyon Incubator was founded to ensure that all social entrepreneurs, regardless of their economic background, can succeed. The program reduces the financial barriers to starting a social venture by providing:

• Five months of free housing at the historic Halcyon House

• $10,000 stipend for food and living expenses during the Residency Phase

• One year of free workspace at Halcyon House

• Eligibility for six months of reduced-rent workspace through one of our partners after the Post-Residency Phase

Critical Audiences - The program works to provide exposure for ventures to help ensure long-term sustainability.
