From Singapore to the world

Impact starts from Singapore

The Sustainable Impact Accelerator starts with the premise that strong mentorship is a good ignition point for startup founders. Given the right springboard, a socially impactful enterprise can scale its business and positively impact more people.

raiSE and Quest Ventures are proud partners in this initiative to drive socially impactful enterprises to the next level.

Work With Mentors

From founders to senior executives, mentors from raiSE and Quest Ventures work with startups to accelerate their growth. Entrepreneurs-in-residence, industry mentors, and guest speakers expand horizons.

Our mentors are world class.

  2. Has enthusiastic users;
  3. Clear intent or track record to integrate human-centered social impact;
  4. Has potential for double-digit year-on-year growth over the next 1-5 years; and
  5. Plans to raise an institutional investment round within the next 12 months.

On top of that, startups in the program get access to our Family Benefits – the largest such program in Asia. Startups will need to be registered raiSE Social Enterprise members before the start of the program.
