I have an idea
Do you want to chat about your idea and options to progress it? Fill in the form below and we’ll be in touch. Meanwhile, make sure to sign up to hear about our workshops for founders. You’ll build your entrepreneurial skills and connect with like-minded people.
I have a startup
You are ready to give your startup a good shot. Our three-month accelerator programmes are for startup founders looking to grow fast and scale globally. They give you the opportunity to focus full-time on your startup supported by expert coaches and mentors. If your ambitions aren’t global and you’d like longer-term support to validate or invalidate your idea, think about joining The incubator, a 6-month programme to support startups of all shapes and sizes.
I want to join the startup ecosystem
We’re passionate about fostering a thriving community of entrepreneurs. We’re committed to building an open and inclusive network to provide you with the support you need in your founder journey. Come along to one of our events to meet other entrepreneurs or join the conversation on our slack channel.
