Impact Hackathon 2050

Impact Hub Manila was co-founded by Ces Rondario in 2015 and sets itself up as an incubation hub focused on purpose-driven entrepreneurs whose venture ideas have the potential to impact the lives of Filipinos at large scale. It is part of the largest incubation network in the world, Impact Hub, headquartered in Vienna, Austria.

Globally connected and locally rooted, the Impact Hub network is the largest network of impact-driven entrepreneurs in the world. This resonated with Ces’ vision of catalyzing Filipino impact entrepreneurs to start and scale their ventures globally.

Four and a half years since it opened its doors, Impact Hub Manila has reached over 5,000 individuals through its events, trainings, incubation programs and funneled over 750,000 USD of cash grants and entrepreneurial support.

The goal of Impact Hub is to create a measurable positive impact through entrepreneurial action delivered by its communities. As Impact Hub is one of the largest networks of impact entrepreneurs in the world having 17,000+ hubbers in 100+ hubs across 50+ countries around the world, it is already in their DNA to develop this thinking and action for their communities in the Philippines and in the region.
