Stage One Pre-Seed Accelerator, Second phase at TUoS International Faculty, CITY College premises
The International Faculty of the University of Sheffield, CITY College, hosts the second phase of the Stage One Pre-Seed Accelerator on its premises from April to May 2014. STAGE ONE is a pre-seed acceleration programme designed to take young entrepreneurs from the initial stage of their idea or product to the full realization of a pre-seed entrepreneurial venture. The acceleration process is organized by Innovation Farm (www.innovationfarm.eu), located in Thessaloniki, and is supported by the International Faculty of the University of Sheffield, CITY College, and SEERC – the South-East European Research Centre. Over a period of 14 weeks (including preparation and evaluation phase) teams are coached by experts through the basic process of startup development, including business model and concept, marketing, IP, tech, MVP, and other factors, in order to reach a level of readiness for incorporation as a startup. The Stage One programme culminates in a ‘Demo Day’ where the teams pitch in front of investors and experts, for the chance at investment and/or incubation in order to continue to grow your venture. This ‘Demo Day’ (exact date to be announced) will also be open to CITY students and alumni who this way will have the chance to watch live the process of pitching and get inspired in their own entrepreneurial ambitions. More information regarding the Stage One Pre-Seed Accelerator Programme can be obtained at stageone.innovationfarm.eu.
