Our new way to search for purposeful work

Issue 859, Mon 31 August, 2026

Dear Escapees,

You’ve spent years getting really good at what you do. What if you pointed all of that at a problem worth solving?

There are a lot of brilliant people out there with a huge amount to offer. People who know how to build things, lead teams, solve hard problems, bring people with them, make things happen. They’ve built up skills, judgement, knowledge, networks, all of it. And some of the world’s most important problems need exactly those kinds of people.

We think there’s something pretty powerful about getting more of all of that pointed at the problems that really matter.

So this autumn, we’re launching something new at Escape: a funded, selective, online Impact Accelerator for people who are serious about putting more of what they’ve built in their careers towards tackling those problems.

We want to help people figure out where they could have the most impact, where their skills could actually be useful, and how they could make a real move into this kind of work. Turning what they’ve already built in their careers into conversations, opportunities and, ultimately, jobs where they can help solve some of the world’s most important problems.

Applications open on 14th September. For now, if you’ve read this and thought oh. This sounds like me, you can register your interest and we’ll send you more very soon.

Happy Escaping!
