Huckletree Smart Cities Accelerator Programme

 

Huckletree’s Alpha Accelerator is now accepting applications for its ninth cohort, creating incredible opportunities for pre-seed startups with underrepresented founders across the UK and Ireland. This year’s programme, running from 4th April to 30th June, will be curated around Urban Innovation (Mobility and Transport, Smart Data/IoT, Environment, and PropTech.

Here’s some info about Alpha:

Kicking off for the ninth time in April, Huckletree Alpha is a 12-week long intensive accelerator programme themed this year for Urban Innovation startups at seed stage. Each cohort benefits from relentless pitch practice, workshops led by industry superstars, real-time feedback from our community and exposure to talent, partners, enterprise clients and investors. The programme culminates with a Demo Day, allowing our entrepreneurs to form relationships with the UK and Ireland’s most hands-on early-stage venture investors.

We have accelerated 50+ pre-seed companies over 8 cohorts who have raised a total of £36m in funding. Alumni includes Just Wears, Easol, HANX, Bombinate, Loveshark, and Junee. As with our members, our core purpose is to ensure that we’re helping our Alphas to accelerate their business, with some of our Alpha’s going on to join incredible programmes such as YCombinator and Entrepreneur First.

We don’t take equity and we don’t charge membership fees. We’re simply on a mission to find the best talent and the next wave of incredible startups!
