    Program Management & Innovation

    We design and manage accelerators, incubators, and innovation challenges that find, fund, and scale the solutions that can scale.

    You have a bold idea and the funding to pursue it. Now you need someone who can actually run it. Funders and corporations increasingly want to catalyze innovative private sector solutions to global challenges. Run poorly, catalytic programs attract the wrong applicants, disappoint participants, and deliver little lasting value. Done well, they can surface breakthrough approaches and build lasting ecosystems.

    Resonance can provide the operational capacity and technical expertise to run a full program, soup to nuts. Our team can help identify genuinely innovative solutions and build coalitions of support organizations to provide substantive support to participants. We're both practitioners and administrators.

    How We Help

    Accelerator & Incubator Management

    From design through graduation, we manage the full lifecycle of accelerator and incubator programs, including cohort recruitment, selection processes, programming design, mentorship coordination, and milestone tracking. We've run programs across sectors and geographies.

    Innovation Challenges & Prize Design

    We design and manage competitive challenge mechanisms that attract high-quality applications, ensure transparent and credible selection, and create accountability for results. Whether you're seeking early-stage innovators or proven models ready to scale, we build the process to find them.

    Regranting & Subgrant Management

    We support organizations managing regranting efforts — designing transparent selection processes, conducting due diligence, managing compliance, and tracking impact across a portfolio of grantees. We bring rigor and equity to deploy capital to private sector approaches to development challenges.

    Sustainability and scale through partnership

    We build coalitions of partners to adapt, accelerate, and sustain innovation beyond initial seed funding and ensure the ongoing impact of investments.

    Innovation Ecosystem Partnerships

    We help companies and global development clients partner with dynamic and diverse ecosystem players – in finance, government, accelerators and incubators, academia, and tech – to collaboratively seed and foster new solutions. In target countries, development sectors, or supply chains, we draw on our innovation and strategic partnership expertise to map the landscape, uncover relevant innovators, and connect the dots to vital support networks.

    Competition Design

    Competition Design

    We support corporate and global development clients to design, launch, and manage open innovation competitions to uncover new solutions to complex challenges. In this work, we advance competition design that is dynamic, novel, and responsive to the realities of the client and the target innovation ecosystem.

    Business Model Design

    Business Model Design

    We catalyze market-led and market-creating business models for more effective, scalable, and sustainable ways to deliver vital products and services to communities worldwide. Throughout, we work with clients and stakeholders to co-create inclusive business models that are context-smart and anchored in partnerships.

    Incubation and Acceleration

    Incubation and Acceleration

    Resonance works with entrepreneurs to stress-test their business models and identify priority areas for incubation and acceleration services. Based on this needs assessment, we either provide acceleration services directly or draw on our networks to connect entrepreneurs to the partners, strategic finance, and support they need to refine and scale their solutions.
