Impact Lab is a pre-acceleration program that seeks to develop businesses in the Legal Amazon in the Pilot and MVP stages, in partnership with Partners for the Amazon Platform (PPA), U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and Bioversity/CIAT Alliance. Currently, the Amazon Region's impact ecosystem lacks new businesses advancing in stage and assisting in socio-environmental development through entrepreneurship and social innovation. 

Our purpose is to help these businesses advance in their stages, ensuring a pipeline of businesses with socio-environmental impact in the Region. The Program aims to grow these businesses through a lean Pre-Acceleration, focused on 2 main gaps, with materials, network creation, access to capital and impact formation. We will select 20 businesses, and we will invest between 30k and 100k, depending on the business needs.

At the end of this process, we want more mature businesses that are ready to access new investments, allowing their impact to be scaled sustainably, in addition to having a robust ecosystem with the creation, growth and scale of biodiversity businesses on an ongoing basis.
