This course has been developed to allow you to take it in your own time, with no stringent timelines. There’s nothing stopping you blitzing through the course in a single week, or on the flip-side taking a whole year to complete it whilst refining your startup alongside.

However, as we recommend that you actually build your startup alongside this course in a step-by-step approach, and complete all the practical exercises, we estimate that it will take founders around 4 – 6 weeks to complete. 

It can take the average founder around 6-12 months to launch a business after coming up with an idea, but with our help you can drastically reduce that, using our timesaving hacks, guidance and resources.

To build and launch your startup, the total cost depends on too many factors to give a precise estimation. For the basic company administration documents, and resources required to build your first concept ready to test, this can be as little as £100 - £500.

To hire external help (e.g. freelancers or agencies for product building and marketing); pay for valuable software or tools to get your business off the ground; pay for samples or initial supplies for your product; and pay for basic overheads, this could be in the region of £1,000 - £10,000.

It really does depend on your type of startup, resources required, and your motivations and timeframe for getting it built. To build a startup app or digital software solution, this could cost 10’s of £1000s, for example.

Our course price is just £97, and we recommend following us to keep updated about regular discounts that we offer!

This course has been carefully crafted over 12 months by: individuals, startups and organisations who have come from various sides of the start-up world. This includes: investors, bankers and finance providers, mentors, and advisors, and of course, start-up founders and entrepreneurs themselves.

We have spent 100’s of hours interviewing key players in the startup word, mainly founders and entrepreneurs, who have been there and done it themselves. From all these participants, you’ll learn real-life case studies (the good and the bad) and have genuine insight into their wisdom throughout the course.

Of course not! Unlike other courses or incubators/accelerators who often have very restrictive criteria, our course is open to all! The course has been designed to apply to all business types, models, locations & sectors.

No! We’ve designed this course in a way that minimises the prerequisites for founders. While many other courses require you to have developed your startup idea already or even (in some cases) have launched it and are generating revenue, we offer guidance right from the start of the ideation phase. 

So, whether you need help with coming up with that perfect startup idea for you, or you already have the concept but need to develop it, this course will suit you.

Prior knowledge of entrepreneurship, or your intended product, service or industry is certainly a plus, but not a requirement. All that we would advise is that you have at least a basic understanding of business and finance, a willingness to learn and a strong motivation and commitment to spend time on your startup each week. Everything else we can teach you, step-by-step.

This accelerator course is primarily designed for:

• Aspiring entrepreneurs & early-stage startup founders
• Small business owners looking for investment or new strategies to grow
• Side hustlers & professionals transitioning into entrepreneurship
• Those fed-up with working for other people, and have a desire to set up a business of their own
• Hobbyists looking to take their skills & passion into a proper business
• Business owners looking for new ways to enable their business to succeed

Ultimately this course is for the dreamers, shakers, and doers. It’s for those who either have a burning desire to build something of their own, or a business idea that they want to bring to life, and need some guidance navigating the world of entrepreneurship and startups, which can seem overwhelming at times.

We’ve got a variety of content for you, as we believe learning is done through a combination of reading, watching, listening, and doing. We have made our course as interactive as possible, which includes:

• Intro Page – which sets out the module contents, goals, practical exercises, and resources
• The Pop-Out Guides & Visuals/Diagrams – to help explain more complex topics
• Main Reading Material – for full explanations and deep dives into topics
• Videos & Recordings - for visual course content
• Takeaways & Resources – free downloadable templates, tools, guides and examples for you to use
• Practical Exercises & Assignments – to help you build your business and pitch assets and learn by doing
• Recommended Reading – our selected recommendations of useful books, guides or videos for optional extra learning
