Denver startup
Bould was in the running for $50,000 investment from Points of Light and Village Capital as part of the Civic Accelerator program.
Excerpt:
UBELONG, a Washington, D.C.-based for-profit founded by Cedric Hodgeman and Raul Roman, provides high-impact, affordable international volunteering opportunities.
"The Civic Accelerator is just a great community of social innovators," said Roman. "Cedric and I learned so much, particularly from our peers in the cohort, a group of incredible social entrepreneurs. We are excited for the investment, which will allow UBELONG to grow faster, expand its reach and continue inspiring international volunteers and corporations to engage and serve across the world."
The other eight start-ups participating in the accelerator were each offered $10,000 investments. They are:
- AltruHelp (Boston) is building a software solution and online community to increase volunteerism and millennial civic engagement.
- Bould (Denver) connects students with the real-world experience necessary for green careers.
- CareerVillage (Boston) helps working professionals provide career information and advice directly to students.
