What are you waiting for? If you have a great idea, a team, and the passion to make your startup happen then we want to hear from you.
The FastForward programme has been designed for entrepreneurs building high growth potential tech startups, who are at the launch / pre-launch phase. We do not take equity in your fledgling business, and provide all of the support, workspace, coaching and industry introductions for the selected teams, on a small contribution basis (£595+vat per team).
We subsidise the delivery cost in order to help you begin to achieve the greatness you aspire too. However, competition for a place at FastForward UK is fierce, and we want to support the most ambitious entrepreneurs.
