A Cardiff-based business incubator is launching an academy that will be supported by Google for Startups.
Tramshed Tech will host workshops, which will take place every Thursday, beginning September 30, 2021.
The 12-week programme will cover all aspects of building a successful business from planning and idea generation to product development, finance and team building. The final week will involve pitching to a panel of investors whereby one business will receive £10,000 in equity-free cash and mentoring support from Google for Startups to help with future business growth.
The cohort will be provided with peer-to-peer sessions, progress support and a large range of OnDemand video and written content. Tramshed Tech have an extensive list of partners including Barclays Eagle Labs, Geovation and FinTech Wales, all of whom will be engaged in the Academy for referrals, mentoring and advice.
To be eligible for the programme individuals must have an established, post-start company or a pre-start with a solid business idea ready to take the next step and potential for growth.
