Founders, you've found us
Since 2021 we've been at the heart of Norwich's startup scene, connecting founders and helping them build teams, build products and build sales. We don't come on board to advise, we come on board to roll up our sleeves and deliver with you.
Think of us as the place where it all comes together: city-centre workspace, expertise on hand, and a community of founders around you who are building businesses like you. You'll move faster, and have more fun, if you do it with us.
How it works
Whether you're exploring an idea, growing an early-stage company, or looking for a community who understand the journey, there's a place for you at our offices in Fuel Studios. Drop in, grab a desk, and meet the founders already here.
Tap into a community of founders, mentors, and investors who share what they know and help each other move faster. From building product and finding customers to hiring and fundraising, you're never figuring it out alone.
Get to MVP, land your first customers, and start generating revenue. Whatever success looks like for you, we're here to help you get there.

“There is a shortage of those who genuinely feel like they are part of your team, who step in with you and provide a rare balance of wisdom, solid challenge and reflection that gives you the courage you need in those tough start-up moments. That's what we have found in Akcela.”
