Common Ground Works

As a social enterprise accelerator, we guide mission-driven founders in turning local challenges into scalable impact. Our programming includes intensive bootcamps, mentorship from experienced impact investors, and access to a community of changemakers who understand that solving social problems is both an art and a science. We help participants refine their theories of change, develop sustainable revenue models, and measure their impact in ways that go beyond vanity metrics. From climate resilience to youth empowerment, we work across sectors to foster innovation that centers equity and accountability. Our support doesn’t stop after launch — we offer long-term alumni engagement, access to growth-stage funding, and opportunities for peer leadership. We understand that impact work is emotionally taxing, so we prioritize founder well-being through trauma-informed facilitation and burnout prevention resources. Our goal is to ensure that every founder in our network not only builds a strong organization but also builds a life where their values and capacity are honored equally.
