Building technology for social good? This is for you. 

My friends at robinhoodnyc just opened applications for Catalyst 2026 - their 16-week accelerator designed to help scale social impact startups.

What they offer:

⚡ $100K in funding
⚡ 16-week accelerator program in Brooklyn
⚡ Access to mentors, partners, and real user feedback
⚡ Growth and exposure opportunities
⚡ Community of mission-driven founders and leaders

Who they’re looking for: Founders tackling housing, education, future of work, health, financial services - any area that impacts economic mobility for everyone.

This is exactly the kind of program we need more of!

As someone building AI to close the gender wage gap, I know how hard it is to find investors who truly understand that profit and purpose aren’t mutually exclusive.

robinhoodnyc gets it. They’ve been fighting poverty in NYC for over 35 years and know that the most sustainable solutions come from innovative founders who live and breathe these challenges.

Applications close November 21st.

If you’re building something that matters, apply with the link in my bio.

If you want to see a world with more founders who choose impact for the greater good, let me know in the comments.
