Canopy City

Description

• What is Canopy? Canopy is a social impact accelerator based in Somerville's Davis Square. A social impact accelerator is a unique kind of organization that is different from a typical, technology startup-focused accelerator. Accelerators provide services, such as office space for startup teams, mentoring services, introductions and other forms of support designed to accelerate the success of a startup. In the case of Canopy, our mission is to empower social impact-focused technology and life sciences-focused startups alongside local nonprofits that are focused on solving similar challenges. This is all in an effort to create an inclusive and dynamic climate of collaboration, inspiration and shared purpose. The name Canopy is a metaphor, alluding to a forest canopy: Home to a multitude of diverse species, who find shelter and a sense of community under the cover of that foliage. At Canopy, we believe that any individual who takes a leap to launch a vision at great personal and financial risk is also a startup, and we are here to provide support and a welcoming atmosphere to those who dare to be so bold. So, for example, in light of crushing rents that are decimating parts of the nonprofit community, our model allows us to offer space to a nonprofit for $37.50/month. Canopy has set out to redefine the meanings of the words innovation and startup. We aim to expand the boundaries of the innovation ecosystem to include a greater diversity of ideas, people and perspectives.
