We’re living through a historical crossroads of democracy decline, climate crisis, and economic destabilization. And yet, leaders often spend years wading through slow-moving organizations that are unwilling to take risks and fail to meet the moment. That’s why New Gravity is building a community of new founders and investors willing to take big risks and try new things.

We’re working toward a world where all people are fed, sheltered, and cared for. The Incubator is matching top talent with funding, peer support, coaching, and operations infrastructure to build social movements, campaigns, new alignments, or institutions to run the necessary strategies and interventions to get there.

Here’s how it works

  1. Ideation
    $5K

    We will award at least 15 applicants with ideation grants of $5K for one month to develop their idea. After that, ideators will pitch our team in New York City.

  2. Founding Cohort
    $15K–$40K

    From there, we will invite those who are ready to join the Founding Cohort, who will all receive coaching, training, peer support and $15k - $40k to test their ideas by developing proto-organizations, events, or projects.

  3. Launch
    $200K–$1M+/yr

    After a few months of beta testing, we will support 4-6 founders, or founding teams, who successfully completed their beta tests. Founders who are ready to launch will receive operational support, ongoing coaching, and $200k - $1M+/year for up to 2 years.

We’re building this incubator because the social change ecosystem desperately needs fast-moving innovation. Yet, there is little funding for experimental projects, especially those that are risky and cutting edge. New Gravity exists to take risks.
