Acumen recognized early on that capital alone was not enough to address the problems of poverty, so we established Acumen Academy, the world’s school for social change. Our Fellowship program brings together cohorts of social enterprise founders working on problems of poverty. We equip them with the knowledge, skills, and community to grow their capacity, develop their moral leadership, and build scalable solutions.

We accompany Fellows for life, providing them with access to capital, community, and actionable resources to help scale their organizations. Not everyone can be a Fellow, so we’ve developed online courses for anyone, anywhere seeking to create positive impact in their communities.
