Accelerate ME Accelerate ME is the biggest student-led accelerator in the North West. Through a 4-month mentorship

Accelerate ME helps university students and alumni from the four leading Greater Manchester universities build, develop and grow their businesses through an intensive 4-month programme. Throughout the year we organise a variety of events and workshops in which we will shift away from traditional lecture-style ways of learning and development, and instead really encourage people to interact and help bridge the gap between the student community and the working world. To date, the Accelerate ME’s portfolio includes 54 diverse startups, we have created over 60 jobs and our businesses have gone on to raise over £2.9 Million in Seed and Series A funding.

From shaping ideas into actual plans → testing them with real people → refining what works (and what doesn’t) → and now learning how to actually tell the story.

This is what Cohort 12 has looked like so far.

No fluff. Just founders figuring it out in real time.

Now heading into week 5.
