The programme will be delivered digitally and will include a series of in-depth interactive workshops and 1-2-1 meetings in addition to an online Investor Round-Table & Pitching Event. Participants will get insights and guidance on everything from launching a successful crowdfunding campaign and mastering marketing through to refining the impact strategy to ensure that the impact grows as the business does.
Full details on the criteria, the programme content and previous programme participants can be found via the Crowdcube site.
Applications must be submitted online by 23rd May 2022.
Best of luck to all who apply!
