​Manchester Venture Builder is a hands-on accelerator designed to help students, graduates, and researchers turn early-stage ideas into validated, market-ready startups.
​Over a structured 12-week of support, founders test assumptions, build MVPs and gain real customer traction. The most promising teams then progress into a selective 8-week extended support phase, receiving deeper 1-2-1 mentoring and preparing to pitch at Demo Day.Â
​Participation in our Manchester Venture Builder Programme is based on verified applications to take part in our 2026 cohort apply here. The application deadline is Sunday 1st March 2026.
