Frequently asked questions

We believe the next generation of unicorns will be those in the business of fixing the planet. We help you build them, innovate with them, and invest in them.

Our mission is to help startup founders make as big an environmental and climate impact as they do a commercial one through our startup accelerator programmes.

For nearly a decade we have helped nearly 1,000 Seed to Series A startups commercialise their ideas and businesses through over 70 accelerator cohorts.

We help purpose-driven founders with intensive market validation, business model focus, go-to-market and scaling strategy, and of course, investor readiness, pitching and fundraising.

Growth Studio Innovation works closely with governments, investors, and large global organisations to partner startup innovators with corporate challenges, creating theme-specific startups accelerators, as well as helping businesses with their innovation strategies; from driving internal innovation cultures to tech scouting, from testing startup-led pilots to developing new business models.

We are proud to have Amazon, Cisco, Boots, the Latvian Government, Tesco, Ramboll, the NHS, Hewlett Packard and Guys and St Thomas Trust among the roster of clients we have supported.

The triple planetary crisis highlights three interconnected challenges we’re facing today: climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. Each of these problems has unique causes and impacts, and addressing them is crucial if we want to ensure a sustainable future for our planet.

We work with some of the world’s largest companies to deliver accelerator programmes and have worked with almost 100o startups to date across 72 accelerators, in 13 countries.

Our current programmes include Breathable Cities, Nature Positive Finance Accelerator and our new premium accelerator, GS Select.  Visit our Programmes Page to find out more.

Accelerators are designed to help early-stage, growth-oriented companies rapidly scale by attending a cohort-based, short-term programme (from a few weeks to a few months). Accelerator programmes usually have a business theme or thesis – around a technology, a sector, or simply support on how to secure investment. 

Joining an accelerator programme can benefit founders by helping them to:

Refine their products
Build their network within an industry
Meet mentors
Raise investment
Programmes often end with a ‘Demo Day’ to promote the cohort of graduated startups to investors.

There are hundreds of accelerator programmes on the market with new ones being launched almost every month. Some are great, many good, plenty awful. Do your homework and use these exploratory steps, so you don’t waste your time, or theirs.

  • Evaluate the match of you and your startups’ needs, as well the programme organisers’ expertise, partnerships and connections
    Reach out to people from previous cohorts and ask about their experiences.
  • Ask how much the accelerator partners and investors are realistically hands-on with the cohort (many aren’t).
  • Interview the Programme Team to understand what they bring to the table, what to expect of them, and what they expect of you.
  • Raise any concerns in your first initial chats; you should interview them as much as they interview you.
  • Build chemistry with the Programme Team.

Ultimately we – as Programme Managers – want you to get value out of the programme and be successful, so it’s important you work together to plan a shared success strategy.

 

 

Each programme has it’s own selection criteria and process. Please refer to each programme to see what you need to do.

We believe ambitious startups tackling the triple planetary crisis are the billion-dollar unicorns of tomorrow.
Our role? Find them, and give them the foundations they need to change the world.

We look for founders we know will make it and work with them to build robust investible businesses built with industry that have a truly measurable impact on our planet’s health.

Our selection process: It’s rigorous. We only take on the founders we know will make it.

We’re sector specialists: We are experts in building businesses that are tackling the triple planetary crisis specifically.

We get forensically involved: As interim heads of growth we immerse ourselves in each startup, working with founders to shape every facet of the business for successful scaling.

We’re ecosystem builders: We create communities of industry experts, investors and specialists to market-validate each solution.

We’ve been around the block: Since 2016 we’ve worked with nearly 1000 Seed-to-Series A startups across 70+ accelerator programmes, in 13 countries.

We can’t alter the past. But we can radically impact our future by helping founders fast-track their businesses that fix the planet’s biggest problems.

If this sounds like a great fit for your startup, please get in touch to find out more about our programmes and how we can work together.

If you want to get big by doing good then join one of our world-class accelerator programmes that accelerates startups combating the triple planetary crises to be more profitable and investible.
