What will we cover?
By offering targeted support to startups, the Unrest programme aims to accelerate founders forward so that they can build globally scalable impact businesses faster than they could alone.
By attending the programme, founders will be ready to take the next step in fundraising or scaling their business.
The programme covers the key areas of: fundraising, impact, founder resilience, branding, technology, and business education. Across 16 weeks, founders will be able to attend workshops, schedule one-to-ones, be a part of an impact community, develop their brand with award winning Uncommon Creative Studio and access exclusive opportunities with our delivery partners.
Delivery & Format
The Unrest programme is modeled with flexibility in mind to create an inclusive environment for all founders. The programme is delivered in person to help founders connect with one another and be a part of an impact community. However, all sessions can be attended online and all one-to-one sessions can be scheduled to suit a founder’s timetable. All sessions are optional to enable founders to build their own programme around the key areas they need support in.
