Later stage, fast growth startups seeking to scale their business.
The UPstart Programme – UP looks for businesses with a prototype, early stage product, service or platform with the potential to grow significantly and ideally disrupt the market they’re aimed at. And while most accelerators look for teams of two or three people with at least two coders, UP’s ideal centres around teams with business, technical and creative skills. It doesn’t matter who’s come up with the idea, or indeed if the entire skillset’s already in place – if the idea is great, UP will help build the team.
Unlike any other accelerator, UP applies a mix of a defined programme structure which is designed to fit with your business commitments, alongside some very practical “business builder” activities. They believe in “getting the jacket off” and providing hands-on help.
