Be the founder you knew you could be
WE HELP GET YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO GO
We started Hotbed in May 2022 because we were tired of the old school way of fundraising. You know, when the only founders who got funded went to blah blah school, lived in SF/NYC and had Mr. Big Shot investor as their godfather growing up?
It’s 2024.
In a world of Zoom, AI and data, can’t we do this whole investing thing better? Well that is what we are working on, and we think it’s going to change the world.
So how are we doing this? Alongside accelerator programmes for pre-seed and seed stage founders, we're building a platform to speed up the process of building and funding a startup, for founders and investors'

I can't thank [The Hotbed Team] enough for putting on such an effective programme. The quality and range of speakers was excellent, particularly the balance between investors and founders…The programme felt like a safe space, which allowed frank and genuine discussions and advice, which is invaluable. The level of time commitment expected from us a founders was bang on - not too much that we felt dragged away from running the business, but not too little to feel the course was lightweight.
