The emerging Social Enterprise sector in the Latrobe Valley and Gippsland region is set to get a major boost from a new social enterprise accelerator program being delivered at the $17 million dollar Federation University Morwell Innovation Centre.

The 12-week program called ‘Acceleration for Social Enterprise’ will be delivered by leading Social Innovation organisation One10 Group in partnership with Federation University Morwell Innovation Centre and support the further development of the social enterprise sector and enterprises across the region.

Recently One10 founder, Geoff Gourley, was invited to be interviewed by Ausbiz and Startup Daily on their “hour of power”? That’s how guests have described every weekday from 2-3pm on the Startup Daily show on ausbiz.com.au, when they cover the latest news in tech and startups.

In this interview Geoff talks about social impact, his impact investment fund and why impact investment is as much about strong financial returns as it is impact outcomes.

One10Virtual was today featured in Anthill Magazine, an online publication with over 400,000 subscribers. We are hoping that this coverage will get our new platform in front of regional & remote communities and international entrepreneurs considering an accelerator program or online education.

Introducing One10Virtual: a new accelerator platform and program creating positive social and environmental impact.

Now with the world looking very different due to Covid-19, they made the decision to take all programs 100% virtual. As a positive result One10 can now offer their programs internationally and to regional and remote communities that have not been able to access the programs before.

For Immediate Release – Melbourne, Friday 3rd April 2020: Introducing One10Virtual a new accelerator platform & programs that bring together the lean startup approach with creating positive impact.

Since 2015 One10 Group has been delivering a range of tailored education & capacity building accelerator programs for entrepreneurs, founders and startups. From the basics, to ideation & minimum viable product, scale stage, growth and beyond.

One10 has worked with more than 70 founders & startups, delivering their flagship accelerator programs called Fundamentals, Activate, Amplify and Enhance. They have supported significant capital raises, with a few of their clients already having successful exits. One10 continues to hold more than a dozen meaningful impact investments.

Fantastic to see former One10 client LeafCann Group announce that it’s South Australian medicinal cannabis facility has received ‘Major Project Status’ from the Australian Government. Major Project Status is defined as “the Australian Government’s recognition of the national significance of a project – for economic growth, employment or for regional Australia”. LeafCann’s project applies to all three categories.

Our founder, Geoff Gourley, recently spoke with The Fifth Estate about issues in the emerging #prefab & #modular #property #construction sector.

He sees the modular and prefabricated sector as one which can lead to improved affordable housing and social housing, backed by the impact investing sector, but only if done right.

“Innovate or die” has been the catchphrase of the 21st century and its applicability extends far beyond the corporate and commercial realm. Not-for-profits also reap the very real benefits of innovation.

One10 founder Geoff Gourley offers insight into the wide world of innovation strategy and tips for embracing its power.

What’s your 2018 New Year’s resolution? Not sure yet? Well, here’s your chance to start something great, 2018 is just around the corner and this time you might even stick with it.

You don’t need to delve too deeply into the research that highlights the reasons why startups fail; lack of capital including funding, resources and customer base, lack of business experience and limited or no mentoring to support you on your journey. It’s an uphill climb to the top and often, unfortunately, many don’t make it to the top.

“Any enterprise that is driven to make an impact and deliver products or services for positive social or environmental change, as well as financial sustainability, is a social enterprise,” says founder Geoff Gourley of social-enterprise ecosystem One10.
