Entrepreneurship starts with the founder – you are at the core of everything we do. We know that female founders make visionary leaders and CEOs and we want you to scale your journey guided by the experts and global leaders that shape our economy.

We will help you harness your distinctive ideas and vision and shape them into a pioneering and successful start-up.

We will show you entrepreneurship, step by step, and help you plan a ‘go to market‘ strategy. This three day incubator programme will be intense. During the day you will hear and learn from innovative female entrepreneurs, growth and marketing strategists and financial experts. You will be trained to deliver your best pitch to secure investment.

At the end of the 3 days, we will host a showcase where you will have the opportunity to pitch your scale up to Venture capitalists and Angel investors. You may or may not receive investment, but the experience and contacts will be completely invaluable. Currently, female founders only get about 2% of VC funding. That’s completely unacceptable to us, so we have set out to provide access, connections and industry secrets to women all over the country.

Could you be Britain’s next success story?The NWEW accelerator programme will provide your accommodation, food and all activities totally free – all you have to do is persuade us that you have what it takes.

Good luck.
