By tapping into startups\u2019 innovative ideas and ways of working, third sector organisations can explore novel ways to achieve impact that are vital to remaining fit for purpose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rich-text\">\n<p>Featuring examples from UNICEF, Save the Children, Friends of the Earth and others,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nesta.org.uk\/report\/better-together-how-startups-and-third-sector-can-collaborate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">our latest report highlights<\/a>\u00a0various ways in which the third sector can overcome barriers to successful collaboration with startups, despite their unlikely match. From co-working spaces to accelerator programmes and investment funds, there are many ways for the third sector and startups to work together. Here are three sector-level changes that could facilitate their partnership.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"blockquote\">\n<div class=\"blockquote__container\">\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote__item\">\n<p class=\"blockquote__quote\">There is a lot to learn from startups not only in terms of the technology they use but also how they work.

Unlock third sector funding for innovation<\/h2>\n<div class=\"rich-text\">\n<p>Third sector organisations struggle to fund collaborations with startups. Relatively small budgets are one part of the problem \u2013 to illustrate, the top ten UK corporate R&amp;D spenders spend more on R&amp;D alone (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.co.uk\/press-room\/press-releases\/uk-ranks-eighth-globally-for-corporate-rd-spending-investing-165bn-last-year.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a313.6 billion per year<\/a>) than the largest 51 UK charities spend in each year in total (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncvo.org.uk\/images\/documents\/policy_and_research\/Britains-biggest-charities-key-features_final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a311.1 billion<\/a>). A lack of flexible capital in the third sector poses an even greater challenge. Money is often earmarked (when projects are grant- or legacy- funded, for example) and therefore cannot easily be allocated to startup collaboration. By law, it is also difficult to fund for-profit startups because charities need to demonstrate that sufficient public benefit can be derived. As a result, promising collaborations often fail because there is no dedicated budget behind them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"blockquote\">\n<div class=\"blockquote__container\">\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote__item\">\n<p class=\"blockquote__quote\">The third sector organisation was asking for this huge amount of effort from a small tech startup, but there was no budget behind it.

Where additional budget providers are required, they need to broker multi-party collaborations that could include the government or corporates. There may also be an opportunity to set up a government-backed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.civilsociety.co.uk\/news\/barnardo-s-boss-innovation-fund-will-need-at-least-50m.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">venture fund<\/a>\u00a0to help third sector organisations invest in innovation and startup collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"2-set-up-an-intermediary-to-hold-equity-on-behalf-of-the-third-sector\">2. Set up an intermediary to hold equity on behalf of the third sector<\/h2>\n<div class=\"rich-text\">\n<p>The private sector has seen a surge in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nesta.org.uk\/report\/winning-together-a-guide-to-successful-corporate-startup-collaborations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">collaborations between corporates and startups<\/a>\u00a0in the past decade. This is partly because incentives are easier to align; corporate investors typically take an equity stake in return for supporting startups, allowing both parties to financially benefit if the value of the startup grows. In the third sector, it is relatively rare to negotiate equity \u2013 or any other return mechanism, such as a share of any arising intellectual property (IP) \u2013 in exchange for supporting startups, as long as the collaboration is expected to increase the third sector\u2019s impact. Many third sector organisations deliberately do not take equity or IP because it implies a risky, long-term commitment that needs to be managed, or because they lack the legal and commercial expertise. There may also be an ideological opposition to seeking any returns other than impact. However, in the absence of clear, measurable return mechanisms, there is less incentive to commit substantial resources to startup collaboration. It also undermines the sector\u2019s ability to re-invest any returns to make collaboration programmes with startups commercially sustainable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"blockquote\">\n<div class=\"blockquote__container\">\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"blockquote__quote\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Giving grants is not a commercially sustainable method of working with others.
