What founders have to say about us

I have been part of two Hotbed programmes already. And it keeps getting better. I have derived great value out of these. The line-up of speakers/industry experts is excellent! The co-hort group is very good with some excellent work being done.

Founder @ Strabo

Hotbed programmes are totally unlike any other accelerator out there. They understand founders and have built a programme that give founders the support we really need. Access to networks of the best founders/investors. Talks and events that provide actionable insights - no waffle. 100% founder centric. Plus they'll push you out of your comfort zone. You are guaranteed to 10x your network, skills and confidence. Highly recommended.

Jacqui Meskell
Founder @ Huggnote

The best thing about Hotbed is the community of founders we met, who are all at pretty much the same stage and facing the same challenges. The group has been a great sounding board and we’ve found friends, clients and useful signposting to resources from just the network alone. The workshops and chats with investors were packed full of tips that have really helped us shift our thinking from start up to scale up.
