becomes fundable.
Earth Collective is the branded platform programs use to take ventures, projects and nonprofits from application to funding-ready. For investment promotion agencies, governments, accelerators and corporate partners who want every applicant to leave with a next step.
We built the platform by running the programs.
We’ve run innovation challenges and support programs for impact ventures and projects for years. The platform took the applications; the feedback and selection ran on people and spreadsheets. Everything it does now, we did manually first. Today it runs live programs, from small local ones to international investment networks.

We’re trying to solve global problems with local, brick-and-mortar programs.
The cohort model was built for a building, a season and a handful of seats. A few ventures get in, everyone else gets a rejection email, and the ones that were close are gone. Impact ventures are everywhere. The programs that could make them fundable are not. The result: impact isn’t getting funded at anything close to the rate it should.
Every program is asking the same four questions
- 1What happens to the applicants you didn’t take?
- 2How do you get more ventures ready for investment through your program?
- 3How do you keep your network of supporters engaged between intakes?
- 4How do you connect the right funders and advisors to the right ventures?
Earth Collective replaces the cohort with an always-on investment readiness and selection program. Every applicant, wherever they are, is assessed on your criteria, shown what it takes to become fundable, and kept in your pipeline until they are. Readiness decides who gets your attention, not the calendar.
An investment readiness program, with your name on it.
Everything your program needs to take ventures from first application to investment-ready, and to show the progress along the way. Branded as yours, without building it yourself.

A program people want to be part of.
