Incubator / Accelerator

Description:

Springboard combines investment capital with an intensive 13 week mentor-led accelerator program. While the Springboard program is based at Google Campus in London and ideaSpace in Cambridge, it is aimed at ambitious and scalable early stage businesses from both UK and overseas. In addition to office space, Springboard also provides seed capital, over $150k of free services, and most importantly on site, one to one support from over 100 high calibre experienced entrepreneurs and investors throughout the program plus access to a wider network of mentors and partners. Springboard ends with an Investor Day where the teams present propositions to an audience of Angel Investors and Venture Capitalists. Annually, Springboard invests in over 30 companies with founder friendly investment terms for between 3-6% equity stake in the business. Historically, over half of the companies that participate in the programme raise additional investment funding, with alumni teams around the world. In February 2013, Springboard merged with TechStars. Springboard will operate as TechStars London.
