About Acceleration Program
For companies past the building stage. Six months, with the emphasis on growth and a raise rather than on getting a first product out.
What you get
- Intensive mentoring aimed at growth rather than product
- Strategic partnership introductions
- Investor connections, ending in a demo day with investors
- Support for expanding into new markets
- The programme page also names access to a national seed scheme for early-stage innovators; ask the incubator directly what it can put you forward for
Who can apply
- Startups with an existing product and early traction
- Demonstrated product-market fit
- A scalable business model
- Revenue, or strong user growth numbers
How it runs: months one to two on growth diagnostics, unit economics and finding the bottleneck; months three to four on go-to-market, partnerships, hiring and operations; months five to six on investor pitch preparation, the round itself, and market expansion.
How to apply: the same form as the other two programmes, selecting your stage. No deadline is published.
