The Points of Light Civic Accelerator “CivicX” is the first national accelerator program and investment fund in the country focused on “civic ventures” — for-profit and nonprofit early stage ventures that include people as part of the solution to critical social problems. The 10-week, boot camp-style program convenes 10-15 teams in person and online with the goal of equipping each venture to seek investments and scale their social innovation.

Spud’s Thoughts:

Points of Light has been offering really great programming over the years for folks passionate about service and social change. I don’t personally know anyone involved with the organization, but have had enough trusted friends recommend their work to me. They do partner with Village Capital, another incredible organization, to help deliver the programming for their events I believe.
