London is a hub for business, talent, innovation, entrepreneurship and diversity. However, the COVID-19 pandemic further exposed the structural inequalities that exist and the pandemic continues to have an effect on the capital’s recovery.
Diverse founders and business owners in specific sectors experience severe setbacks when starting a business, including facing additional barriers when accessing business support, which as a result compromises their ability to grow robust and scalable businesses.
Recognising the disproportionate effects of the pandemic on certain groups, the Amplify Venture programme has been designed specifically to address the challenges that founders are currently facing including access to finance, business support, contracts, and networks.
If you’re a diverse or underserved founder based who meets the following criteria, Amplify Venture is for you. Business must be:
- Registered and/or trading in London
- Have been trading for at least 18 months
- Have generated at least £50K in revenue since the business started trading
- Have at least 2 staff members (FT or PT, as PAYE or consultants)
Register your interest by filling in the form and we’ll be in touch as soon as we launch with opportunities tailored to your needs.
