A-Collective is a pioneering, borderless universities startups network as a non-profit organisation designed to democratize access and foster global entrepreneurial ecosystems.
The mission is to connect universities across five continents, enabling university incubated startups to access international markets, capital, talent, and mentorship resources that currently remain siloed due to geographic and systemic barriers.
World’s first truly borderless universities startups network democratizing global access to markets, capital, talent, and knowledge for every university born innovation.
Empower university startups worldwide via a reciprocal global network that enables cross-border collaboration, mentorship, funding, and market validation—providing equitable access to resources beyond borders.
Facilitate international market entry and validation for startups.
Access to specialized talent and technical expertise across the network.
Connect startups to angel investors, VCs, grants and other startup ecosystems globally.
Promote joint research, IP licensing, and tech transfer.
Drive mentorship, best practice sharing, and entrepreneurial education.
Shape global policy for innovation and cross-border entrepreneurship.
We partner with regional innovation hubs and international accelerators proactively for joint cohorts. We believe in circulating value, not extracting it.
Each university serves as both host and gateway. What you give, you receive. This reciprocal flow turns partnership into momentum.
We've built a "Circle of Doers." Our governance structure ensures active, hands-on engagement at both strategic and tactical levels.
We don't select the "best"—we connect the capable. If a startup is vetted by a network university, it belongs here. The market decides success.
The Secretariat is the nerve centre for coordination, execution, and participation management, ensuring systematic and outcomes driven engagements disciplined across continents.
