Accelerate Cambridge is a startup “accelerator” established by Cambridge Judge Business School in May 2012. The School is situated in the centre of Cambridge, at the heart of the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge Cluster, the city’s academic and business networks, both of which have a long tradition of entrepreneurship.
We provide teams of entrepreneurs a structured approach across an 11-week programme that combines entrepreneurial education in a series of talks, workshops, weekly coaching and biweekly mentoring and pitching. Our programme empowers entrepreneurs.
Many of the businesses in the cluster were established by students, alumni, faculty, staff of the University, and residents of the city.
