(gentle upbeat music)

00:00:03.540 --> 00:00:05.610
<v Narrator>At BCG X, we bring together</v>

3
00:00:05.610 --> 00:00:07.890
some of the most talented business builders

4
00:00:07.890 --> 00:00:10.260
to turn ideas into reality

5
00:00:10.260 --> 00:00:13.350
and grow them across different markets and industries.

6
00:00:13.350 --> 00:00:17.400
We invent, build, and invest in digital startups.

7
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:20.460
We also care about our society and planet,

8
00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:23.850
and that's where our Social Impact Accelerator comes in.

9
00:00:23.850 --> 00:00:27.420
We are excited to work with those who share the same goal.

10
00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:29.160
We want to use our resources

11
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.280
to accelerate the growth of meaningful initiatives,

12
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:33.600
helping them to be bold

13
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:35.793
and have a lasting positive impact.

14
00:00:36.690 --> 00:00:39.480
We want to hear from social innovators, entrepreneurs,

15
00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:42.420
and changemakers who are working to build a better future

16
00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:43.980
and are looking for an extra hand

17
00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:48.120
and the resources to do more faster at bigger scale.

18
00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:49.680
We are looking for initiatives

19
00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:51.690
that have already taken their first steps

20
00:00:51.690 --> 00:00:55.470
and looked deeply into the domain in which they operate.

21
00:00:55.470 --> 00:00:58.173
Are you looking to grow and scale your initiative?

22
00:00:58.173 --> 00:01:01.260
Maybe you want to supercharge your user experience

23
00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:04.920
or get some guidance on how to monetize your product.

24
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:05.880
Whatever it is,

25
00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:09.060
we can tailor the program towards your needs.

26
00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:10.110
You will get the support

27
00:01:10.110 --> 00:01:12.960
of a dedicated multidisciplinary BCG X team

28
00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:14.400
for up to three months,

29
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.380
expert advisory from senior leadership,

30
00:01:16.380 --> 00:01:20.460
network, and exposure with corporate partners and investors.

31
00:01:20.460 --> 00:01:23.130
There are a few simple steps to apply.

32
00:01:23.130 --> 00:01:25.560
Once you submit all the relevant information

33
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.150
and an intro video,

34
00:01:27.150 --> 00:01:29.400
your application will be reviewed.

35
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.830
The top-rated initiatives will get a chance

36
00:01:31.830 --> 00:01:33.870
to pitch in front of the entire company

37
00:01:33.870 --> 00:01:37.320
to get a spot in BCG X Social Impact Accelerator.

38
00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:40.110
<v ->One of the biggest challenges, we only have eight weeks,</v>

39
00:01:40.110 --> 00:01:41.550
and within these eight weeks,

40
00:01:41.550 --> 00:01:43.740
we have a lot of things to achieve.

41
00:01:43.740 --> 00:01:45.870
People here are really passionate about climate change,

42
00:01:45.870 --> 00:01:47.580
and this is not a given.

43
00:01:47.580 --> 00:01:48.810
I'm looking forward to this moment

44
00:01:48.810 --> 00:01:50.820
when we're actually sitting down on the last day,

45
00:01:50.820 --> 00:01:52.620
and yeah, launch time.

46
00:01:52.620 --> 00:01:54.750
<v ->We know that we would be working</v>

47
00:01:54.750 --> 00:01:56.640
with some of the best people in the industry.

48
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.100
We need that because sort of in the social sector,

49
00:01:59.100 --> 00:02:01.620
you've got a lot of people with heart, right?

50
00:02:01.620 --> 00:02:03.510
But you always need a little bit of the business push.

51
00:02:03.510 --> 00:02:07.020
<v ->It has been absolutely seamless, incredibly professional,</v>

52
00:02:07.020 --> 00:02:08.910
and also quite inspiring

53
00:02:08.910 --> 00:02:10.440
because it gave us an opportunity

54
00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:13.170
to learn about how your company works

55
00:02:13.170 --> 00:02:15.843
and also reflect on the way we work as well.

56
00:02:16.770 --> 00:02:19.410
<v Narrator>We can't wait to hear about your initiatives.</v>

57
00:02:19.410 --> 00:02:20.243
Best of luck.
