An entrepreneurship programme is offering a £10,000 proof of concept funding for high potential startup ideas.
The Co-Founders programme, a partnership between Catalyst and Techstart Ventures, is aimed at helping startups validate their businesses and set them on the path to commercialisation. Teams which take part in the Co-Founders programme will be helped to validate their ideas, test them in the real world and develop their businesses.
They’ll have to go through a competitive pitch process to get onto the programme and are then expected to be awarded the funding from Techstart, which is an investor of seed capital supporting early-stage businesses and also runs a proof of concept grant fund.
