Phase One Incubator Programme
Phase One is an innovative startup programme designed to empower digital, creative, tech, and science entrepreneurs, including students and spinouts, in transforming their ideas into sustainable businesses. Developed in collaboration with partners from across the region, members benefit from a practical support programme of advice, workshops and one to one mentoring.
Based at The Catalyst, at the heart of the University of York’s Campus East, Phase One members get personal and direct access to a range of specially selected partner organisations who will share their expertise, knowledge and skills to accelerate your growth potential.
The Community
When you are a member of our Business Incubator Programme, you are surrounded by like-minded people. People who strive to create, innovate and elevate their businesses.
Our members can differ by industry but all share entrepreneurial minds and cutting-edge drive. This is what creates a community of start up businesses who share their learnings, support one another and develop businesses, together.
Phase One is open to pre-startups or businesses less than 12 months old working within the digital, creative, technology and science sectors.
Businesses applying for Phase One must be able to show that they are willing to work hard, and dedicate themselves to growing their business, making the most of the space, mentoring, support and guidance on offer to them.
Within the programme, you will attend workshops and networking events with our partners, fellow members and wider support networks in the region. It’s the direct contact within the community that truly inspires our members providing them with support and advice to start or scale-up their businesses.
