It's Time to Start Your Journey

Our start-up and accelerator programmes support social impact businesses to grow and flourish. Our programmes work with people who are underrepresented in the start-up community space and those who don’t have access to the resources, networks or funding to get their idea off the ground.

We run two programmes: a start-up, for businesses still in the ideas stage; and an accelerator for existing businesses that are looking for support to grow. Find out which programme is right for you below.

The impact of the Seeds Hub mentoring programme has been phenomenal. I knew I had the ability and an idea, but I did not know how to structure it and bring it to fruition. Having Seeds Hub as a support mechanism allowed me to articulate the structure of the business.

Ariane

A great experience - the whole concept is brilliant! The programme created space for local people who were often facing similar challenges to talk and share their ideas - I loved all the peer-to-peer elements - it was lovely to have such a strong sense of community.

Jo

Some of the most useful things I learned on the programme were how to set myself up as a business, how to get funding and how to promote myself. All the different workshops were amazing - I know a lot more about marketing, branding and how to budget now. The programme also helped me to believe in my project - it made it real.

Amanda

I found the programme very useful - the workshops were so varied, there was something for everyone at every stage of the start-up process. It was great learning from peers and collaborating on business projects.
I started working on a 121 basis with clients, which I'd always wanted to do - the programme gave me the encouragement and the space.

Sidonie

The webinar sessions delivered by Seeds Hub were varied and covered all the areas that were necessary for setting up a business. The team were very supportive and always available to motivate and encourage me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the course and would highly recommend Seeds Hub.

Iman

The programme gave me the opportunity to network and collaborate with other start-up business owners - they were such an inspiring, friendly and diverse group! The peer-to-peer mentoring sessions were especially useful as they gave the group the opportunity to explore common start-up problems and challenges and opened up avenues for working together.

Ivor

I had a business idea that I was developing and I needed some external feedback, input and support. The team exceeded my expectations. I liked the flexibility of the programme.

Mikella

The programme enhanced my knowledge and skills in many ways,

it helped me to understand the framework of building a business for new entrepreneurs like myself. The programme gave me a confidence boost. I felt part of a community because I was surrounded by likeminded people - we had the same goals but in different fields.
