This is a new accelerator programme, running from November 2025 to February 2026, to support disabled entrepreneurs who want to expand their business. The initiative combines expert-led training, tailored funding advice and opportunities to connect with peers who have lived experience.
There are twenty places available on the programme, which includes access to an £18,000 grant pot and personalised funding support. The organisers aim to deliver an equitable and accessible experience, offering learning materials in dyslexia-friendly formats and providing presentation transcripts.
Eligible applicants must have a UK-registered business that has been operating or trading for at least 18 months, with a minimum turnover or raised investment of £70,000. At least one team member must identify as disabled or neurodivergent, and participants must demonstrate sector expertise and the ability to engage with the full programme schedule.
