• Become investor ready with a stronger idea of target markets and product/market fit
• Gain access to Octopus’ extensive network of portfolio companies, corporates and experts
• Complete 1-2-1 engagements with industry/corporates, and potentially establish good relationships and possibility of follow-on projects and pilots..
• Gain access to experienced, sector relevant advisors – these are people who can mentor and share their learnings with you, as well as introduce you to relevant people.

The programme will likely lead to investments of £500k-£1m by Octopus Ventures in some of the companies completing the programme, subject to Investment Committee approval and standard Octopus processes.
