Norwich's start-up incubator
We help start-ups move faster from early idea through to revenue and raising. Our city–centre incubator supports early–stage companies with space, coaching and community.
Founders, you’ve found us
Since 2021 we’ve been at the heart of Norwich’s lively startup scene. We help founders build teams, build products and build sales.
The incubator has the things you need when you are starting out: flexible workspace; expertise on hand; a community around you. You’ll move faster, and have more fun, if you do it with us.
