Final chance to win a place on four week programme at White City Incubator

Imperial College White City Incubator is calling on local entrepreneurs to apply for its Innovators' Programme, which is due to run for the second time in late September.

The White City Innovators' Programme in partnership with Natwest runs for four weeks and aims to support the development of tech start-ups by providing free space to work at the Imperial White City Incubator and training in areas such as fundraising, team building, IP, marketing and pitch practice.

It is about ensuring your company is ready to take the next steps from learning about the responsibilities of company directorship to what angel investors really look for.

Over the four weeks those taking part will interact with sector experts through a series of workshops, surgeries and networking opportunities. Each team will have access to a dedicated mentor, all of whom have a wealth of experience mentoring or running tech startups.

The programme finishes with a pitch to a panel made up of external investors and directors from Imperial Innovations and NatWest.

You must have:

Raised less than £500,000 in investment (or less than £500,000 in annual sales)
