Applicant Criteria: Graduate Acceleration Showcase

Applicants are eligible if they have graduated from one of the SETsquared Universities (Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Southampton and Surrey) or plan to graduate by summer 2019. We accept applicants up to 3 years post-graduation.

Companies who pitched at this event in 2018 will not be invited to re-apply unless this is a new investment round and a fundamentally different investor pitch.

All applicants must be able to demonstrate rigorous market validation, a strong and viable business model and the potential for continued growth and development.

Applications are welcomed whether the company is looking to:

• Raise early stage investment (seed level, or feasibility/proof of concept);
• Find mentors to support the development of their business idea;
• Gain access to further support through SETsquared accelerator programmes, or other incubators/accelerators.
