Programme Team

The Breathable Cities programme was extremely unique and helpful for our startup with its focus on air quality and the hands-on mentorship from the great people at Growth Studio! They also cultivated a great environment of camaraderie and within our cohort. :)

The Breathable Cities programme has been a game-changer for ZEV City. The pitch training, guided by Growth Studio, sharpened our communication skills and made our vision more engaging. Beyond pitch training, we also gained access to valuable legal advice, fundraising connections, and essential business-building sessions. Since Breathable Cities 1 Demo Day, we have raised £1million.

From where we were, to where we are now, is just night and day. Growth Studio has pushed us forward and made us so much more confident. We know exactly what we need to do and how we need to do it. Since Breathable Cities, we have been awarded by Santander as one of the UK’s top ten startups.

Top marks all round! The team at Growth Studio managed to create one of the most open and collaborative environments that I have ever been a part of. We learnt so much not just from the Growth Studio team and their experts but also from the cohort as a whole. It was an extremely beneficial and fun programme to be a part of and I am truly thankful for the opportunity.

Frequently asked questions

No, The Breathable Cities accelerator is free for startups to apply for and participate in; all costs for participating in the programme are covered by Growth Studio and our sponsors. 

We are looking for between 8 and 12 teams to join the cohort.

We are looking for solutions that can reduce air pollution in urban environments. Ideally, something that can apply to freight, transport, construction, and indoor air pollution – but if your startup doesn’t cover those four areas, please do still apply, as we’re open to hearing from any business that can tackle air pollution.

We are looking for companies with a minimum viable product (MVP), so you’ll be beyond the idea stage. You’ll need to be a UK-registered company, and as the programme’s focus is helping you get investment-ready, you’ll be looking to raise money now or soon after the programme.

Finally, we look for enthusiastic, ambitious, investible founders who will commit to the programme.

The programme will last between 10 to 12 weeks and is designed to be non-invasive, allowing you to work on your business while attending. Although the programme team is London-based, we want ideas from all over the UK. We’ll ask you to participate in key days and workshops in London during the programme, but we will run a hybrid programme.

We will launch the application phase shortly, but until then, please register your interest so we can let you know when we do.

When we launch the application phase, we’ll ask you to answer a few questions about your company, team, and solution. One of our team will likely arrange a quick chat to learn more about the programme, answer your questions, and check your eligibility. We will then shortlist all applicants and invite the shortlisted applicants to a face-to-face Selection Day in London. You’ll meet the wider team, learn more about the programme, and meet other startups. We’ll invite a few startups to officially join the programme, send you all the paperwork, and get busy helping you build your business.
