Springboard

The Programme

We are currently taking applications for Springboard London! The next Springboard programme starts April 2012, with a deadline of 29th January 2012 for applications.

There are three parts to the programme:

Shape;

Through a series of mentor events with entrepreneurs, angel investors, venture capitalists and significant businesses each startup is challenged to help the founders answer: Are the underlying assumptions correct? Is the business proposition the best it can be or should it be re-shaped?

Build;

Each startup develops their product, their business model and their customer proposition. Concepts and prototypes are tested in sessions with potential customers under the guidance of the team’s mentors.

Sell;

Springboard ends with the Investor Day where each team presents their business proposition to angel investors and venture capitalists. Using the Shape and Build stages as the foundation the Sell stage sees founders develop their presentations, their presentation skills and their product demo.

The application deadline for the Spring 2012 intake is 29 January 2011. We look forward to hearing from you.
