The Wintercircus Fund’s mission is to democratize access to our network, knowledge and spaces. While making our tech & entrepreneurial ecosystem a more diverse community for everyone to thrive in.

Underprivileged individuals and impact organizations are invited to participate. By breaking financial barriers, we ensure diverse voices can contribute to building a better, more equitable future.

Diversifying our network through collective wild cards.

At Wintercircus Collective, we unite entrepreneurial minds and forward-thinkers in a vibrant space to connect, create, and grow.

To ensure financial barriers don’t limit access, we offer Collective Wild Cards, which are 1-year memberships for aspiring entrepreneurs and academics needing financial support. Members join a vibrant community that inspires bold ideas and inclusive progress, for a better tomorrow.

Together, we build a better future through entrepreneurship, technology, and collaboration.

Breaking barriers with Wintercircus Impact Partners.

At Wintercircus, we believe entrepreneurship, technology, and collaboration are essential for addressing societal challenges and fostering progress. Our Impact Partner Program is dedicated to organizations committed to empowering underrepresented and underprivileged groups, creating equal opportunities, and driving meaningful social change.

Impact Partners join a vibrant community where diverse talents connect, innovate, and inspire. With access to 15,000m² of meeting spaces, workshops, event venues, and hospitality, we support their mission to nurture talent and break down barriers for underserved communities.

The program includes 15 memberships, access to facilities, and event rentals, ensuring Impact Partners can amplify their efforts and join a lasting network dedicated to inclusive growth and innovation.
