TechForge Accelerator 1: From Side Hustle to Startup - The Journey Ahead

The TechForge Accelerator from Business Sheffield comprises of 6 in-person workshop sessions designed to support the needs of technology-centred startups, especially those involving software. The TechForge Accelerator is best suited to founders who are at an early stage – for example you might just have an idea, be working on a prototype (or MVP), or have done some initial trading. You can book into one or more workshops in the series, depending on your needs. The workshops last just over 2 hours with an opportunity to network at the end.

The first session of our Accelerator gives you an overview of the ‘journey ahead’. As well as the providing you with a tried and tested routemap, the session is full of practical advice and tips on some of the steps you will need to take, and pitfalls to avoid, in order to create a strong foundation for your software-based startup.

The session will be led by Chris Wheater and Morgan Killick - our highly experienced Tech Scale-Up Advisors – both themselves founders who have scaled and exited tech businesses. We are delighted to announce we will be joined by Sirinda Bhandal, founder of Social Prescribing platform Simply Connect. Sirinda left her job to ‘Spin Out’ the business and is currently looking at developing a new product to complement the platform. She will no doubt have plenty of experience to share with the group.
