Scaling ideas that have the biggest impact on society
Elevate Great is a not-for-profit accelerator for social good. We build and scale evidence-based solutions.
Our approach
We believe the hardest social challenges demand new approaches. Our interdisciplinary team combines a social good focus with the best of the private sector acceleration model to deliver innovative, evidence-based solutions.
How we work
We understand systems, build solutions where none exist, and scale what works.
Understand
We don't commit to building or scaling without first understanding the system.
We map how systems work, identifying the relationships, incentives and leverage points that shape outcomes. This is how we determine where intervention can have the greatest impact.
For example...
Our recent ECEC financing review explored how ten European countries finance early childhood systems and what the UK can learn from them.
Scale
We invest capital and capability support to help proven solutions reach the scale the problem demands — grounded in a clear understanding of how they fit within the system.
For example...
Tandem, our first Scale venture, is redesigning children's screen time around meaningful carer-child interaction. Backed by our investment and support across data science, AI and behavioural science.
Build
Where the evidence points to a solution that should exist but doesn't, we build it. Developing early-stage products, often technology-driven, and testing them under real-world conditions.
For example...
We're building an AI-powered platform that helps education practitioners access and apply research evidence more effectively.
