GoodCompany Ventures is taking applications through Friday for admission to its third accelerator program for social entrepreneurs.
The Philadelphia-based nonprofit plans to accept eight to 12 entrepreneurs for its 2011 Social Impact Incubator, which will be housed at the University of the Arts’ Corzo Center for the Creative Economy in Center City starting June 2.
The program lasts 10 weeks and culminates with an Investor Showcase where program participants get to pitch the merits of their companies to individual investors and representatives of early-stage venture-capital firms. GoodCompany said that last year more than 100 investors attended its showcase and more than half the companies in its program that sought funding got it within six months.
