BookshelfThe fully-funded 12-week programme begins in April with introductory days in March 2019 and is being held at the prestigious University of Southampton Science Park.

Free places are awarded based on the strength of the business case put forward in the application. Participants need to commit a minimum of 2 days each week for 12 weeks to fully benefit from the programme and it is best suited to those located within reach of the south coast (M3/A34/M27).

The Catalyst Accelerator is an intense 12-week programme of one-to-one mentoring and commercially focused weekly peer group workshops with world-class business leaders. Having completed an investment-ready Business Plan, Management Team Plan and Funding Plan, entrepreneurs then have the opportunity to meet potential investors at an investor event at the end of the programme.

There’s no cost to participants as the Catalyst Accelerator programme is fully funded by the Science Park and, importantly, no stake is taken by any party involved so that entrepreneurs retain their equity. The whole thing is worth about £15,000.
