Your go-to guide to designing and running programs that nurture impact-driven businesses.

For more than seven years, we at Instellar Impact have seen firsthand how challenging it can be to design and run incubation/acceleration programs for social entrepreneurs, or Zebras, as we like to call those building businesses that balance purpose and profit. It’s not just about creating impact but also keeping our organization sustainable so that the mission we carry can continue to grow.
We created this playbook to be something you can use right away, not just read. It starts with an introduction to the Zebra concept, guidance on how to apply it in your own work, and explanations of why this approach matters for your journey as an accelerator.
The Zebra Accelerator Playbook is a step-by-step practical guide to help you, as an incubator, accelerator, or ecosystem enabler, support Zebras.
