Looking for funding and essential business mentoring to power your preseed business venture? The application deadline for PraeSeed – Praetura Ventures’ cohort-based investment programme – is Monday, 28th April at 12pm.
No applications will be accepted after that date, and you’ll be notified by mid-May if you’ve been successful, with the programme starting on 9th June and running every Monday for six weeks.
So why apply?
PraeSeed is not your typical accelerator; it's a cohort investment programme powered by NPIF II and the British Business Bank North of England.
Designed to provide crucial early-stage funding, PraeSeed is a capital-first programme that will deploy up to £200k into 35 start-ups over five years.
We've allocated £6m from our NPIF II fund to support the most promising Northern founders who need that initial cheque to get off the ground.
Last year, we received 200 applications from various sectors across the North of England.
From these, we selected a 12-strong cohort and ultimately invested £200k each into seven start-ups: Aquaint, BidScript, CCI Photonics, North AI, Robotiz3d Ltd, ScrubMarine, and WAC.
Our goal is to assess, invest, and support you to become the ‘next in the North’.
If you're serious about your business and need funding to get off the ground, apply now and become part of the next cohort of innovative Northern start-ups. Follow the link to apply and the full criteria: https://www.praeturaventures.com/praeseed/
