Do you have software engineering, digital creative or business skills? Do you want to be a part of a tech start-up with the opportunity to become a founding director? The Launchpad Programme provides a £16k tax-free sum and a no-fees Masters (Entrepreneurship) to support and equip you on your start-up journey. You don’t need a ‘good idea’ (we source this for you from an industry partner) or a team (we put you into a skilled team of four). You just need drive, passion and the ability to commit to the programme for a full year and to live in Cornwall once your company goes on to incorporate. Apply at falmouthlaunchpad.co.uk
