Casa do Impacto aims to promote solutions to environmental and social problems. We meet the needs of entrepreneurs with ideas and projects that need a push to reach their full potential. RISE for Impact operationalizes the capacity-building axis of Casa do Impacto with a focus on the social dimension of Impact Entrepreneurship.

It’s the ideal acceleration program for you if you are an entrepreneur with a project in the validation phase of an idea, product, service, or business model that promotes innovative solutions in solving social problems and needs under the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. This program was designed to generate your ideas and turn them into technically feasible and financially sustainable solutions, starting at the beginning of the pipeline.
