SHAPE entrepreneurs are motivated by problem solving and generating measurable impact within their sector, in society and on culture. This does not mean that the venture has to be non-profit, or a social enterprise. It can be mission-driven to make a positive difference backed by solid research and quantitative and qualitative metrics.

What we're looking for

Empathy

SHAPE entrepreneurs prioritise inquiry, analysis, critique, observation, subjectivity, and their understanding of humanity and the environment to build a strong foundation for the success of their venture. In a SHAPE venture, the human element is always key.

Rigour

We believe that through rigour, SHAPE disciplines present an opportunity to develop clear plans to achieving measurable impact which are informed by insights and can withstand critical enquiry.

If the above sounds like you or your venture, then hopefully you are part of one of the member universities. Even if your university is not yet in our network we would like to hear from you.

Submit your venture

Chances are, if you are reading this you are either working within the social sciences, humanities and arts and looking to commercialise your research or you have a venture already that is supported by research in these areas. At whatever stage of the journey you may be, we are here to help.
