Today our team is proud to announce, we have been recognised and accepted into the Halcyon incubator program for funding, mentorship, networks and relocation to the USA. This program helps us bring our virtual reality training for diversity and inclusion, sexual harassment, workplace bullying and unconscious bias. to America.
The Halcyon Incubator is committed to solving 21st-century challenges throughout the nation and the world. By helping social entrepreneurs transform audacious ideas into scalable and sustainable ventures, the Halcyon Incubator acts as a catalyst for measurable social outcomes. It's perhaps the most immersive incubator in the world that focuses on both social impact and profit.
During this 18-month fellowship, a diverse cohort of fellows receives free residency and workspace, mentorship and leadership coaching, robust support from business consultants, and a living stipend to develop their entrepreneurial vision into reality. Fellows engage with the program in two major stages:
Residency (5 months): Fellows live and work at the Halcyon Incubator with unfettered access to expert guidance. They also participate in core programming that includes pitch sessions, a skill development series and other events, ultimately taking part in a “Demo Day” in front of partners and investors.
Post-Residency (13 months): Fellows continue to work at the Halcyon Incubator, with free access to all resources to further build their networks, secure funding, and grow their venture.
Halcyon’s well-honed methodology fosters creativity through an environment of freedom, access, collaboration and support. It gives prospective impact leaders the physical and mental space to freely take risks and exercise their ingenuity. By removing barriers and supplying resources, Halcyon empowers visionaries regardless of their means or circumstances. In this way, it disrupts the status quo of who has access to entrepreneurship opportunities.
The team at Equal Reality are very excited to be part of this program with such an incredible cohort. We are honored to have the support of the Halcyon name to add to our growing list of backers/supporters. While we will always maintain team and presence in Sydney/Brisbane, this expansion is the perfect opportunity for our team to expand upon existing opportunities and establish new opportunities in the USA. We want to keep thinking global, and pushing to have social impact at scale. For any organisations on the East Coast interested in using virtual reality for diversity and inclusion, sexual harassment, workplace bullying and unconscious bias training, now is the perfect time to start talking!
