What happens once I submit my application?
We will check to ensure that your business is based in the UK and if we're happy, you'll be accepted onto the programme!
How much of my time is required in order to complete the incubator programme?
Every applicant will be invited to attend all of our sessions. We will be hosting roughly one session per week. If you are unable to attend any online sessions, we will record each session to share with all participants via email afterwards. A detailed programme of the sessions will be shared after the applications have closed.
I live outside of London. Will I be required to attend any physical events?
All of our webinar sessions will take place online so founders can attend regardless of where they are based. However, there will be some sessions which will take place in-person. It is not mandatory to attend any sessions, so if you are unable to travel to the locations of the in-person events, no problem!
Will I need to be available for all of the webinar sessions within the incubator?
These sessions are the ideal time to ask our experts any relevant questions. That said, we understand that the founders’ schedules can be particularly busy and whilst we value seeing as many live attendees on the webinar sessions as possible, attendance is not mandatory. We will record each session so founders can watch them again at any time.

Investing involves risks, including loss of capital, illiquidity, lack of dividends and dilution, and should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Please read the Risk Warnings before investing. Investments should only be made by investors who understand these risks. Note that not all shares will be eligible for the secondary market and, even if they are, the ability to buy and sell shares will depend on demand. It can be difficult to find a buyer or seller, and investors should not assume that an early exit will be available just because a secondary market exists.
