Co-Founders seeking people with innovative ideas and desire to create startups that could change the world for its 2023 programme.
Got an idea for a high-growth startup or the skillset to help build one? If you’ve answered yes, then the Co-Founders programme by Catalyst is for you!
Co-Founders is a one-night-a-week programme for anyone who wants to be a co-founder in a startup team and wishes to explore the viability of a business idea.
Taking place between March and June 2023, this 12-week hybrid programme will help participants to find co-founders and form a startup team and will feature weekly workshops to help them upskill, develop their pitching skills, build their confidence and grow their networks. In addition, participants will have access to a host of industry experts and be able to avail of some of the best funding opportunities.
This year, the Co-Founders team are interested in ideas that can address some of the world’s biggest challenges, with a particular focus on 3 of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, namely Fintech, Greentech, and Health and Life Sciences, so if you’ve got an idea that relates, let them know on your application.
And speaking of applications, you’ve got until Friday 16th December 2022 to get yours in.
In the interim, if you’d like to find out a little more about the programme, would like to hear from previous participants or get some more insights into what it’s all about, you can do just that at the online Catalyst info session which is taking place on Wednesday 30th November at 1.00pm - book your free ticket for this now.
Best of luck to all who apply!
And if you’ve got an idea and happen to be a current student or member of staff at NWRC or recent alumni from the college, the IDEATOR Awards would be well worth a look. There’s a prize pot of £4k on offer, to help you develop that innovative business idea!
