Say hello to the #Propel19 teams.
In 25 days time, on the 7th January 2019, twenty teams will take their seats at the Ormeau Baths for the Propel 2019 pre-accelerator.
The programme helps companies based in Northern Ireland build and launch their business — giving founders finance and work-space to jump in full-time.
It was a pleasure to see such a high calibre of founders and products from applicants as well as the level of commitment and dedication. Competition for the twenty places was high, so sadly we weren’t able to take everyone. If this is anything to go by, we’re really looking forward to the quality of applicants next year.
On behalf of the companies and the team at IgniteNI we’d like thank you for your support and we look forward to sharing the progress made by #Propel19.
