Overview

Founders Factory has developed a unique accelerator and studio model that can help startups find product/market fit in the shortest amount of time, solve strategic and operational challenges and find scale with multinational corporates. Companies receive £30k cash for 4-7% equity along with a dedicated team providing intense support in a six-month program completely tailored to your startup's needs and growth objectives. When you join, we'll work with you and the team at Marks and Spencer to design a bespoke engagement plan.

This will include all the ways that you could partner. Think sessions with their data and insights teams, mentorship and expertise from relevant business units, and opportunities for commercial pilots and contracts - and possibly even capital investment on your next round.
