CYCLE 1: SPRING 2025 | HYBRID SAN FRANCISCO + ONLINE

Accelerating Flourishing at All Levels

The Flourishing Accelerator supports initiatives addressing our world's interconnected challenges—climate collapse, responsible AI deployment, inequality, democratic resilience, and cultural fragmentation.

Integrated Solutions for Complex Challenges

We nurture projects promoting flourishing across individual, communal, and planetary levels through evidence-based methodologies and collaborative approaches.

Scaling Positive Impact

Our goal is to collectively support initiatives—companies, non-profits, educational programs, cooperatives, and civic projects—building thriving communities and regenerative economies worldwide.

This initiative leverages research-backed methodologies from Bloom.pm, Flourishing Foundation, Trellis, Compassion2.0, and incorporates frameworks like SEL, PERMAH, Inner Development Goals, Gross National Happiness, Wellbeing Economy, and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
