Organisational framework
Legal entity, contracts, invoicing and reporting, so you can start without founding an NGO.
You bring the idea. We bring the framework.
The ACTS hub is the infrastructure that lets an initiative start today: legal framework, mentoring, community and visibility — without waiting to set up your own organisation.
[ The process ]
Four steps from idea to initiative
-
STEP 01
You tell us the idea
A short form: the need you noticed, who it is for, and what you would like to build. No business plan needed.
-
STEP 02
We look at it together
A conversation with the ACTS team and, when useful, with a mentor from the field. We shape scope, effort and the first milestone.
-
STEP 03
We build the framework
The initiative runs under the ACTS umbrella: organisational framework, partnerships, communication and access to the community.
-
STEP 04
You grow it further
The initiative becomes a vertical of the ecosystem, is replicated in other cities, or becomes independent. All three are a success.
[ What you get ]
What the hub offers an initiative
Not everything at once, and not the same for everyone. We start from what is actually blocking you.
Mentoring and expertise
People with 15+ years in technology, education, communication and community building.
Community and network
Access to 3K+ professionals, partner companies, universities and public institutions.
Visibility
Communication channels, events and editorial support that bring your initiative to the right people.
Operational support
Tools, processes and templates already tested in the initiatives of the ecosystem.
Funding routes
Support in identifying sponsors, grants and partnerships adapted to the stage you are in.
[ FAQ ]
Questions we get most often
Do I need a legal entity to start?
No. That is exactly the barrier the hub removes: the initiative can run under the ACTS umbrella until it is ready to stand on its own.
Does it cost anything?
No fee. We agree together on how the initiative is funded and how transparency towards partners and the community is handled.
Who owns the initiative?
Yours. ACTS provides the framework and support; the team that started the initiative keeps leading it and can take it independent at any point.
How long until we get an answer?
We reply to every proposal within 10 working days, with a concrete next step — even when the answer is not yes.
