We don't think that's fair. The people who will build the future are already here, in classrooms and bedrooms, waiting for someone to believe in them. That's why we exist.
Almost half of young people already run a side project. But most can't find a job. The talent is there. The drive is there. What's missing is someone to back them. We think that's a huge waste. So we set out to fix it. We find brilliant young people, believe in them early, and give them what they need to turn an idea into a real business.
Ideas change. Founders are what last. We bet on people, not pitches.
No lectures. You learn to build a company by building one, guided by people who've done it.
The right room changes a life. We put founders, mentors and investors together, and keep them together.
We don't stop at an idea. We help them build a real product, find their first customers, and pitch to investors. Some raise money. Some grow fast. Every one of them leaves a real founder.
There are many ways to get behind our founders. Here's how you can help.
Share what you know directly with the cohort.
Back founders at the earliest, most meaningful stage.
Guide a founder one to one through the programme.
Champion the next generation and help us reach them.
Sit alongside VCs, angel investors, operators and mentors backing young founders.
Help us put on the biggest night of the cohort.
