About Halcyon

Halcyon accelerates the impact-driven future of business. Since 2014, Halcyon’s fellowships for early-stage social entrepreneurs have provided space, community, and access—infusing support at a critical juncture where many impact-driven startups fail. Halcyon is focused on serving social entrepreneurs with ventures in Health, Climate, and EquityTech— three verticals that drive equity and inclusivity in society.

At Halcyon, we’re dedicated to fostering an inclusive work environment where every team member feels valued and respected. We believe that a diverse workforce enriches our company and strengthens our ability to achieve our goals.

Our office is located in downtown Washington, DC at 1100 15th St NW. It is close to the Metro, including the Farragut North and Farragut West Metro Stations, as well as many bus lines.
