Careers in IDEX Accelerator

In 2010, Gray Matters Capital launched the IDEX Accelerator, a professional fellowship program for aspiring social enterprise practitioners. We have since transformed from a pilot project of 10 fellows to a global initiative with 300+ alumni.

Our mission is to create the next wave of "social intrapreneurs" who will support, lead and advance the work of socially-focused enterprises around the world. Social intrapreneurs are becoming key actors in the race towards a new kind of economy. These changemakers are supporting and leading the development of scalable solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges - from health to education to the environment. Contrary to social entrepreneurs, social intrapreneurs are innovating from within an existing enterprise or organization.

The IDEX Accelerator is a six-month fellowship experience designed for aspiring social intrapreneurs who want to take control of their career path while helping to address society's most pressing problems. These young professionals are given the opportunity to work alongside social entrepreneurs across Bengaluru (India) and gain hands-on experience addressing the needs of a growing enterprise while earning a Professional Certification in Social Enterprise.
