The Home for Founders Balancing Profit and Impact
Build a sustainable, values-aligned service-based business alongside peers who understand the work you do and embody it themselves.
We’ll be inviting our next cohort of consultants to join in April. Join the waitlist to be first to receive an invitation.
Who we are
The Impact Collab is an ecosystem of support for founders building profitable businesses that create meaningful impact.
We bring together service-based founders whose expertise helps organisations change, improve, and operate more responsibly, but who often find themselves building their business alone.
The ecosystem of support is made up of consultants growing sustainable businesses, working with values-aligned clients, and embedding impact into how they operate and deliver their work.
Inside the community, we’re on a mission to strengthen the parts of our businesses that matter most. From positioning and systems to impact and sustainability, supported by trusted peers and practitioners who embody the work they teach.
The result is a new standard of operating: Businesses that are commercially strong, personally sustainable, and making a difference their founders are proud of.
What makes us different
The Impact Collab isn’t primarily education, networking, or coworking.
It operates as a high-trust professional community for impact-led founders, actively building better businesses together.
Members don’t join to consume content.
They join to work on their business alongside peers facing similar challenges.
Through skill-sharing, small group mentoring, shared accountability, and practitioner-led expertise, founders strengthen the parts of their business that determine long-term success:
• earning sustainable, predictable income
• working with values-aligned clients
• building systems that reduce burnout
• growing visibility without performative marketing
• embedding meaningful impact into their work
Everything inside The Impact Collab is designed to support founders so they can confidently say:
“I make a difference I’m proud of.”

What People Are Saying
“Grateful for this community! Being an impact founder can be a lonely business, but connecting with these people makes it so worth it”
— Tiff Ng, Founder (The Social Story)
“As the African Proverb goes, it takes a village to raise a child. The Impact Collab are providing that village!
It’s great to see the wide ranging services from other members who care just as much about creating a fair and just world. This creates a powerful allyship!”
— Bob Sudaharshan, Founder (Purpose With Profit)
“How great is this community?! I’ve felt the love even through Slack and so excited about meeting some people IRL this week at the co-working day! Thanks for multiplying the effect of social good!”
— Hajira Shaheen, Founder (Ta’leem Consulting)
“I am a very proud member of The Impact Collab and it has been a business life saver for me. Without this community I wouldn’t still be running a business.
— Zoe Kennedy, Founder (Spark & Co)
“Joining The Impact Collab was a game-changer. I went from feeling isolated as a purpose-led founder to being surrounded by a values-aligned community that genuinely gets it.
The support, planning tools, and connections I’ve gained through the Global Goalie Project have reshaped the future of my charity. I’ve been challenged (in the best way), supported by a mentor, and reminded that even when working independently, we’re part of something much bigger.”
— Jordyn Gray, Founder (The Athena Project)
“I just love the community you have built. It’s reassuring to know you can chat to people who not only are in business, but are leading with their purpose + values”
— Narelle Wilson, Founder (Volta Cosulting)
The Impact Collab was founded on Gadigal land, part of the Eora Nation. Land that was never ceded.
We honour the Traditional Custodians of this land, and all First Nations peoples across the Countries our founders join us from, both in so-called Australia and Aotearoa, New Zealand. We pay deep respect to Elders past and present, and recognise the enduring connection that First Nations communities hold to Country, culture, knowledge and community.
As a collective of impact-led founders, we’re guided by values that have long existed here: connection, sustainability, and shared care for people and place. We believe these ways of being are central to our work, and we acknowledge the deep wisdom and leadership First Nations peoples continue to bring to them.
For those First Nations people who read this today, we stand with you in the Voice, the Treaty and the Truth processes. We’ll continue to walk with you in solidarity for as many years as it takes, and until every last gap has been closed. For your fight for justice is also our fight for justice, and we want to keep you absolutely central to our purpose as a sector.
We hold a strong belief that there can be no true purpose economy unless First Nations peoples are at the centre of it and we warmly welcome First Nations founders, changemakers and leaders to the Impact Fam. Scholarships are available, and our circle is always open.
The only way forward is together — through truth, through listening, and through justice.
