About Project:Bloom
Project:Bloom is an investment and incubator program created by the Collidescope Foundation, designed to support social entrepreneurs and nonprofit founders in creating ventures that deliver both financial sustainability and measurable social impact. Program participants receive a plethora of support such as mentorship, operational services, project deployment assistance, and exclusive access to the premiere Collidescope Collective.
Project:Bloom is designed to deploy capital in a way that encourages both profitability and impact, regardless of whether a venture is structured as a for-profit or nonprofit entity. While participation in these programs is free for accepted applicants, we request a 2-3% equity contribution via a SAFE, which will be reinvested to support future entrepreneurs joining the program.
