Startup Basics - programme
Kickstart your entrepreneurial journey
Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or simply curious about the world of startups, our comprehensive Startup Basics programme is tailored to meet your needs. With a mix of immersive workshops over several weeks.
Enter your early-stage idea into our Business Ideas Competition and you could win a share of £1,000. All you have to do is describe your idea, tell us what makes it special, what stage you're at and who are the potential customers. It's that simple.
Come with, or without a business or social enterprise idea, join a team and startup over a weekend. This high-energy weekend will give you a fast-track experience of turning your ideas into reality. Learn how to test your ideas and have a go at starting up. (You do not need an idea or any experience for this event). Will return in October 2023.
