Breakthrough with Lloyds 2026

Built to remove systemic barriers and amplify the strengths founders already hold, the programme offers expert-led support, tailored funding advice and a powerful community of peers with lived experience.

Through a combination of interactive masterclasses, one-to-one mentorship and strategic business development support, founders will gain the tools, confidence and connections needed to scale their ventures in a way that works for them.

The programme culminates in a Showcase Day, where participants have the opportunity to pitch to investors and funders, as well as access a £21,000 grant funding pot.

We are committed to creating an inclusive and accessible experience for every founder.

If you have any accessibility requirements or would benefit from additional support during the programme, please get in touch with our team so we can discuss how best to meet your needs.
