New accelerator programme launches in the North-west

SME investors, Maven Capital Partners, have announced the launch of a new accelerator programme, for start-ups in the North-west.

The investment group, which has previously backed North-west tech start-ups with over £150 million investments, has launched THE HUB to support start-ups and scaling businesses in the region to achieve commercial success. THE HUB will provide resources, mentorship and business advisory services to ensure new businesses can make a meaningful impact on the local economy and their communities.

The accelerator programme will be run by Maven Capital Partners’ existing North-west team, and pair participating businesses with experienced entrepreneurs. They will provide mentorship, financial guidance, and practical advice to companies that are part of the programme, helping them navigate the challenges of starting and growing a business.

Ewan MacKinnon, Partner at Maven Capital Partners explained:

“We believe that local start-ups are the driving force behind a strong and resilient economy, and we’ve prioritised designing a programme that provides the right support to enable these businesses to succeed. A key advantage for a business working with Maven is access to different sources of capital as well as the in-house operational expertise of our team. We have backed hundreds of management teams, helping them achieve their growth ambitions, making us well-placed to understand both the challenges a business can face, and the commitment needed to make it a success. That means working collaboratively alongside the team to add value and contribute effectively to the development of corporate strategy, but also provide support in the face of the occasional challenges inevitably faced by a small business.”

The first event will take place on the 16th May in Manchester with a calendar of future events to follow, bringing together experienced entrepreneurs and promising start-ups across the North West to help build thriving local economies.
