Rose Lewis, our co-founder and ring leader shares how it is
"These brands play a pivotal role in our accelerator programme each year. Without their dedication and enthusiasm, our startups would not have access to such constructive and critical customer feedback as early on. This leads to a faster market launch of a product responding to brands’ actual needs."

In the first 17 weeks, brands will literally be colliding with startups - workshops, speed dating, mentor meetings, demo days and more! Te brands will give real-time feedback to these founders, helping them to become revenue-earning businesses. But learning is a two-way streak. It's all about knowledge sharing. So brand mentors take back what the startups have taught them about embracing innovation to their larger organizations and become change makers! As simple as that!
Enough from us, here's what our partners have to say.
