London Met launches startup programme for graduates

London Met has an intensive start-up programme run by the University’s business incubator, Accelerator, giving students and graduates the chance to start their own business.

The Hatchery, based in the heart of Shoreditch, provides students with support to turn a business idea, or a desire to be self-employed, into a reality.

The programme includes weekly sessions and workshops, access to office space and computers, mentorship, social events, and a chance to be part of a thriving community of enterprises on the doorstep of London’s ’Tech City.

Simon Boot, student enterprise manager at Accelerator said: “At Accelerator, we’ve got a mountain of experience working with students from all backgrounds.

“It doesn’t matter if you want to launch a clothing brand, a line of jewellery, or an innovative tech business, The Hatchery program will equip you with the tools, knowledge and support needed to take your idea forward.”

“All you need to have when applying to the programme is a good idea and a lot of passion for making it work – the Hatchery will help you with the rest.”
