Workup's CEO, Ade Bullock, has recently completed the Funding Hero accelerator in Birmingham. This superb program is designed to help make start-ups investment-ready and provided a huge amount of help, advice and connections. The program lasted 12 weeks with one day in person each week at iCentrum in Birmingham plus a huge amount of online tools and support.
A massive thanks to Jim Shirley and Vernon Hogg for creating and running such a fantastic program.
A big thank you also to all the great other businesses that were on the first cohort. We all learnt off each other and became great friends. We wish all these companies great success in the future:
- Surlender Pendress - Love Writing
- John Sewell - Cosimo
- Johann Riedel - Seamless 24/7
- Natalie Wadley - Changemaker 3D
- Martin Lewis - Membrance
- Alexios Zachariades-Layland - Joobii
Funding Hero covers 6 pillars of fundraising and provides online models and canvases to enable you to position your business in the best way to gain investment. This includes creating pitch decks, financial model, business plan, operational plan and many more key assets.
The next cohort of Funding Hero starts on Sep 15th and you can apply on the Funding Hero website. We highly recommend the program to any small business or start-up with high growth potential that is looking for investment in the next 6-12 months.
