About the Impact Accelerator
Female-led start-ups encounter various set of challenges during the early stage of their ventures. As we move toward achieving global goals in gender equality and reduced inequality, there is a growing concern on the gap in financing start-up ventures founded by women entrepreneurs in the UK. Further, many female founders struggle with unconscious bias that leads to limited access to funding and other non-financial resources such as guidance, mentorship, and network to develop and grow their businesses at the same time juggle with multiple responsibilities. We're offering 6 months of intensive support and training sessions to help you build your confidence and take your start–up or solution to the next level in your impact journey.
Our mentors, coaches and networks will work to accelerate your growth and open up new opportunities with talent, investors & suppliers. We will work with your business to develop it in a sustainable way, while solving some of the world’s greatest challenges.
Who the Accelerator is for
Late pre-seed or seed, female-led start-ups that aim to address the most pressing local and global challenges. You will have demonstrated traction and are now looking to develop and scale up your business. Female founders must be living/operating in or benefiting Cambridge, Peterborough or Hackney.
