A Dynamic Business-Growth Programme
Advance is a dynamic accelerator programme of investment and support, with a four-month renewal window, for developing businesses with the potential for significant growth. Advance offers access to angel investors with potential for co-investment as well as consultant-led support to prepare for future Series A fund-raising.
About You
You’ll be a developing business with a tested Minimum Viable Proposition (MVP) looking to deploy your solution within a proactive city or rural environment. You’ll have a team and an investor presentation with a clear business opportunity. You will most likely have raised pre-seed capital through investment or innovation grant funding, and now need up to £1,500,000 of capital investment over the next 12 months. And of course, your proposition will have circular economy focus and potential impact on transportation, mobility and energy usage.

- Access to our external and internal angel investor network with the potential for co-investment of up to £200,000.
