Applicants from outside the UK

Yesterday we had a founder enquire about the programme that attended school in France.

This is the second time we’ve been asked about this so I thought I’d write about the reasons why we don’t accept applicants in this circumstance:

  1. Our mission is simple: to address the under-indexing of UK state school educated people in the UK startup sector;

  2. That’s a very ambitious goal and we need to concentrate our resources to achieve it.

You can apply for SSV if a founder in your startup has attended a UK state school.
