In our Founder fireside series you will have a unique opportunity to hear from founders their story of the successes and failures.
We introduce you to experienced mentors who are here to help you. They'll share their experiences and provide feedback on our business.
We'll help craft your story. You’ll have an opportunity to test your pitch in public, and build up to demo day.
As part of the program you will get in front of active investors. The accelerator program has a series of investor lunches where you sit down and tell investors about your product.
Accelerator teams will travel and gather experience from different markets such as San Francisco, New York and London with support to set up base in San Francisco after the program.
You get access to perks from companies who would like to see you succeed. Everything from stickers to hosting. There's enough credits in there to run most tech stacks for a year.
Every company gets between 9-12 months free space at Belfast's newest coworking space. As well as the program the Ormeau Baths is a leading host to technology events in Northern Ireland.
Up to 5 companies from each Program will be offered an additional 3 months support to set up base in San Francisco. You will get a coworking desk, a £5,000 grant towards travel and accomodation costs, and access to our network of SF mentors, investors and exclusive events.
We are searching for companies and founders that have the potential to be great. So whether you are interested in applying this year or next, we are here to talk.
