Questions from program teams

Earth Collective is a branded platform for running funding-readiness programs. Investment promotion agencies, governments, accelerators, universities, professional networks and corporate partners use it to take in applications from ventures, projects and nonprofits, assess them, connect them with advisors, investors and funders, and keep the whole program in one place.

Organisations that run or fund programs for ventures, projects and nonprofits: investment promotion agencies and economic development teams, accelerators and universities, professional networks and associations, and corporate partners who want to back innovation under their own brand.

Application tools stop at the decision. Earth Collective covers the whole journey: intake and judging, developing applicants with advisor feedback, matching funding-ready applicants with investors and funders, and keeping the whole program in one view. Applicants, advisors and funders also stay connected after the program ends.
