“In light of the amount of current global issues, investing in social impact is more important than ever,” said Sasha Lipman, Head of IMPACT and Project Manager at Hackabu, in a statement.

“In our case, we want to invest our biggest assets – our knowledge and our expertise – to help these startups grow exponentially,” she added.

Hackabu, which stands for “hack a business,” helps both startups and established companies to reach their growth targets many times faster. The company uses the latest tools in the field of marketing automation and has developed a new, more agile marketing process based on three core areas which are creative marketing, experience and data and automation, and engineering, which identify and apply effective leverage for faster growth.

Smart, cost-effective tactics which help companies reach their growth goals faster, are at the core task of growth hacking. Especially for startups, growth is an important figure when it comes to investment readiness.

IMPACT will help social impact startups to expand their reach by growing their KPIs, and to bring their ideas to a wider audience so they can accelerate their impact.

IMPACT Growth Hacking Accelerator: 12 Weeks, 12 Experts, 12 Investors

“Accelerate your social impact venture to make the world a better place” is the slogan of IMPACT, the 12 weeks accelerator program, which gives selected social impact startups the opportunity to work on their ideas with a team of 12 growth hacking experts as well as other mentors.

Participating startups will also get connections to decision-makers in the domestic impact startup ecosystem as well as to an international network of potential investors. The main goal of the program is to help changemakers grow massively and expand the reach of their impact.

Together with its leading partner Heartbeats Innovation and Communication Hackabu now invites all qualified startups to join the first batch starting in February 2019. A prerequisite for participation is an existing prototype or MVP and the solution of a social problem as a core business.
