The hunt is on to find Brighton and Hove’s most exciting new businesses as Entrepreneurial Spark, the world’s largest free business accelerator, powered by NatWest, rolls into Brighton this summer.
With a vision to generate positive social change through the action of entrepreneuring, the pioneering Entrepreneurial Spark, is now open for applications for up to 80 entrepreneurs to join their Brighton accelerator, or ‘Hatchery’, which opens its doors in August in NatWest premises at 149 Preston Rd in Brighton.
The completely free ‘enablement programme’ sees entrepreneurs, or ‘chiclets’, based in the Hatchery as they undergo six months of intensive support, as well as benefiting from essential start-up necessities such as superfast broadband, office space and telephones and potentially a further 12 months focus on the business itself.
Entrepreneurial Spark, has been drawn to the story of Brighton and its incredibly vibrant culture, creative industry excellence and innovative thinking.
