Our new-look, Validator programme is a pre-accelerator which will provide you with the support, structure and practical time you need to really interrogate, test and validate any business ideas.

The validator is a pre-accelerator which means you may have goals of deciding if the idea has legs, registering or launching your business and / or applying for our next Start-Up Fund round - for your chance to be awarded up to £5000!

Our new-look Validator programme will give you the time and virtual space and support required to move things forward around your studies and expert guest speakers and mentors will be on-hand throughout. The programme will be for all who wish to validate an idea but with bespoke online support for Freelancers, Sole Traders, Limited Companies and Social Enteprise/Charities.

The time commitment and being able to get involved is really flexible: 2-3hours a week and options to join in person at two venues Start-up Lab Loughborough University and FutureSpace Loughborough University London, along with being streamed online.

The live sessions are in week 1, 3, 5 on Thursdays 5-7pm. Weeks 2, 4, 6 are self learning and meeting with a mentor no pre set time.

Start Date - 7th July 2022 – 5-7pm with a 1-2-1 with a LEN team member before this date to discuss your needs and how it works should your application be successful.
