AccelerateME Demo Day approaches

by Startacus Admin
As the culmination of their latest programme, AccelerateME will hold a Demo Day on the 6th of June 2018. We asked the AccelerateME team to share all the details...
AccelerateME is a pre-seed accelerator for students and graduates from University of Manchester. Participants go through an intensive 12-week programme during which they are guided by mentors, receive office space and up to £1,500 equity-free funding. AccelerateME provides startups with equity-free funding, office space and professional insights necessary to develop and grow their businesses successfully. With sessions running on weekends and outside of working hours, the programme is ideal for students, as it fits around academic studies.
The accelerator is industry agnostic and one of the few non-tech accelerators in Manchester. It has been running since 2015 and helped to get many successful startups off the ground, such as Percent, Hive Urban Farms and Shut-up and dance.
Demo Day
As the culmination of the programme, AccelerateME will hold a Demo Day on the 6th of June. The best of Manchester’s student and graduate startups will have just 5 minutes to pitch to investors, academics and the start-up community, in a rapid showcase of what they have achieved during the programme and where they are looking to go next.
