Halcyon Welcomes Second Wave of Social Entrepreneurs
October 24, 2014
S&R Foundation’s Halcyon Incubator is bringing in its second class of fellows this week. The entrepreneurs are focused on social causes and are tackling everything from West African digital libraries and sustainable gardening to shipping containers and ex-inmate re-entry web portals. The 14-month program gives them rent-free housing in this swank Georgetown mansion, owned by S&R Foundation founders, access to potential funders, mentors, and help with strategy, legal, and PR. The program does not require equity in the ventures. Local Roots, mentioned above, is one of the nine companies in the second class.
