The 15 teams joining the Ignite 2023 Pre-Accelerator
The second cohort of our North of Tyne Pre-Accelerator will be starting next week, on 9 January.
As part of the five-month programme, which is funded by the North of Tyne Combined Authority, 15 teams will each be receiving £10,000 in grant funding, weekly workshops, access to the Ignite network of founders and mentors, and £250,000 in credits from partners.
We’ve been really impressed with the quality of applications this year, which has grown by nearly 50%. We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who put in time to apply — and to all the founders who helped us with the judging process.
