5.9% of UK school children attend private school yet 71% of partners at UK VC funds attended private school and 46% of UK educated tech CEOs attended private school. Lack of network, confidence and a financial safety net deters too many talented people from achieving their potential.
State School Ventures is a free, 8-week programme for people wishing to start a tech startup. At SSV we help take you from idea to launch and funding; but you must have attended a UK State School.
State School Ventures
SSV is free and delivered remotely. No application or membership costs or relocation expenses. No waiting, a new cohort starts every month and you can start in whatever month you want.
An “idea to launch” programme
Solo founder? Co founder? Doesn’t matter. The 8 week SSV programme will help you refine your idea, develop a plan and launch your business.
Funding
You shouldn’t apply to SSV *just* to get funding but the programme will bring you into contact with funding knowledge and advice. It’s anticipated that some applicants will receive offers of funding via the programme.
