“SETsquared is the best incubator that I’ve come across in the UK. The way they support and encourage companies is second to none. The centre director and entrepreneur in residence motivate and drive you forward during challenging times.”

“The investor readiness training is very well packaged and prepares you well for going up in front of investors. We attended the SETsquared Investment Showcase in 2014 and managed to secure investment of £750k from Ignite, a social enterprise investment fund backed by Centrica, owners of British Gas, as a direct result of an introduction at this event”.

“SETsquared has also really helped us to navigate the choppy waters of scaling up. We’ve taken part in pitch events and have gained a lot of insight from high quality audiences. We also had the opportunity to present to blue chip investors such as KPMG, an organisation we probably wouldn’t have had the opportunity to approach on our own. More recently, as part of the Scale-Up Pilot Programme we’ve made the most of SETsquared’s access to research facilities and the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) to access R&D type resources without having to invest heavily to do it.”
