The Big House Accelerator Programme, run by Nottingham Business School (NBS), provides early-stage and established businesses in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, with a series of exclusive workshops and mentoring programmes worth over £10,000.
The pilot programme in 2018 saw high levels of success from its participants, resulting in them refining their products and services, winning new business, hiring new staff, and successfully securing Innovate UK funding.
A previous participant, Georgina Fairhall, Work & Communications Ltd said: “The Big House programme and Accelerator has taken my business to another level. I have now launched an app and I’m finishing preparation for my first round of investment.”
Starting in January 2021, the second iteration of The Big House Accelerator will be delivered virtually. The aim of the programme is to help ambitious tech businesses in the area to grow fast.
The businesses align under a broad theme of software services for ‘risk management’. They include:
A secondary cohort has also been formed following successful pitches by SME participants. This group will receive a package of events and mentoring to get them ‘Accelerator-ready’.
The Accelerator is part of the Big House Programme – a £4.4m support scheme for creative and digital industry businesses – delivered through a partnership of business support organisations in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. The programme is supported by the European Regional Development Fund and the East Midlands Engine.
