The Foundry accelerator

Foundervine CIC
The Foundry by Foundervine, in partnership with Molten Ventures & Esprit Foundation, is a 12-week, high-impact accelerator designed for early-stage founders aged 18–30 who have already built an MVP and are now focused on refining, growing and strengthening their business.
This programme is for founders who have moved beyond the idea stage and are actively testing their product with real users.
