Core offering

2811 is a global social enterprise platform that delivers educational programs, accelerators, and consultancies in social innovation, climate action, gender equality, sustainable finance, and migration-focused social entrepreneurship. Its core offerings include virtual academies (Climate Action Academy, Beyond Gender Academy, EU Fundraising Workshop), accelerator programs (Commons/Commons Latam with Ashoka, Como con Eco), and event-based programs (Climathons, Climate Justice Camp, Art AI & Climate Residency) delivered to universities, NGOs, schools, and corporate teams across Latin America, Europe, and the US. Revenue is generated through a combination of EU co-funded programs, paid private workshops, and institutional consultancy engagements.

Product overview

2811 is a global social change platform that operates as a portfolio of educational programs and initiative-based offerings rather than a unified software product. The core Academy 2811 serves as the learning hub, offering courses like the Climate Action Academy, EU Fundraising Workshop, and Beyond Gender Academy. Specialized accelerator programs include Commons/Commons Latam (social innovation with Ashoka), Climathons (climate hackathons), and Hola América/Hola Colombia (migration-focused innovation). The company runs focused initiatives including Como con Eco (food resilience in Colombia), Climate Justice Camp Berlin, and Labs 4 Change (Erasmus+ gender equality project). A flagship residency program, Art, AI & Climate Residency Berlin, explores art and technology intersections. Programs are delivered through virtual courses, in-person events, and hybrid formats, with partnerships spanning European institutions, Latin American universities, and international organizations like Climate-KIC and Ashoka.
