We traveled to 14 universities in 7 UK cities to find aspiring young entrepreneurs and help cultivate the entrepreneurial mindset to even more who joined our workshops.
12 business ideas by young people who are passionate, capable and willing to follow the entrepreneur path have been selected to participate in this 2nd phase of our exciting programme with their teams and become part of the broader RG movement.
This first ACCELERATE- Matching event is a big day for our finalists, as it marks the beginning of their 6-week intensive mentoring, the first day they are meeting their 1:1 dedicated mentor, and for some it's the first time they're pitching their idea to an unknown audience.
Come along to celebrate this moment with us, meet the brilliant finalists, get inspiration, network and also here the inspiring stories of 2 established entrepreneurs who will share their experiences live!
Our mentors come from different industries and are either successful entrepreneurs or business professionals from companies such as AstraZeneca, Deloitte, Salesforce, O2, Santander, Citi & J.P. Morgan, and will be working alongside the teams to help them turn their idea into a viable startup. Other Reloaders in the audience will have the opportunity to join the breakout sessions and participate actively in the process.
