## About

We believe businesses can change the world — and Casa do Impacto exists to prove it. Housed in a historic building in Lisbon's Chiado/Santos quarter, this is not a generic coworking space: it is the social entrepreneurship and innovation hub of Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa, an institution with five centuries of social mission now powering a very modern revolution. Recognised three times on the Financial Times' Europe's Leading Start-up Hubs list in the 'Social Impact' category, Casa do Impacto offers impact founders a full pipeline — from furnished desks and private offices to mentorship, workshops, investment-ready challenges, and the +PLUS fund, which distributes up to €500k per year in non-repayable grants. Can't be here in person? A virtual incubation track keeps remote and nomadic entrepreneurs inside the ecosystem. With a rooftop terrace, meeting rooms, event spaces, and a reception desk staffed Monday to Friday, this is where sustainable businesses are cooked — and world-changing ideas find their home.
