🌟 Would your business benefit from 1:1 Business Coaching? 🌟   Tailored advice and business makes such a huge difference to early stage and start-up businesses – especially those in the creative and digital industries. That’s why we’re working with Charlotte Hartley from Tribe as a business mentor for the Creative Futures Incubator. Charlotte leads our 1:1 accountability coaching sessions for each selected business on our cohorts and expertly guides founders through refining their vision, setting goals and mapping out their growth over a year.   After coaching our latest cohort, Charlotte says; “it has been amazing to see all the businesses grow and develop as part of their experience in the incubator. By utilising tools and systems I’ve developed with clients over many years, each business has created a clear vision and strategy, defined their goals and key metrics, and outlined a clear action plan to support their business growth through the programme. It’s so empowering to see each and every business go from strength to strength”   We are now taking applications for our 10th cohort and will welcome our 50th business in April! Could your business benefit from the following:   · A 6-month programme of business support including 1-1 coaching sessions with Charlotte Hartley · Group coaching with Clare Green & Joseph Wallace and your cohort to guide and support your journey · Tailored programme of business development workshops · 1 years’ membership at 1 Mill Street   Then find out more and start your application here: https://lnkd.in/emriHJsV Or find out more in person and have your questions answered; join the team at 1 Mill Street this Friday 22st Feb at 12-1pm for a Discovery session to help guide you through the application process; https://lnkd.in/eDyZEtkU University of Warwick 📷 Ana Frantz Warwick Innovation District David Plumb Jason Hier Rachel Davis David Hollis Mick McLaughlin Elenore Li Wojciech Przewozniak CWX Miriam Beresford

On Monday, we were unbelievably proud to take centre stage at the Warwick Innovation District's first Festival of Innovation! Standing alongside some of the businesses we've supported through our Incubator programme was truly a special moment for us. Our collective achievements were felt throughout Warwick Arts Centre, with our wider Warwick Enterprise (University of Warwick) team and regional partners, including 1 Mill Street, Warwickshire County Council and CWX. Since our inception in 2020, we've helped to directly support over 45 regional founders and businesses, have brokered invaluable R&D projects unlocking new research, and have created an inclusive community for gamers with our Esports Centre - University of Warwick. And the best thing, we're only just beginning! Success never happens alone. We're a small but impactful team, led by our Associate Director, Clare Green and Director of Warwick Enterprise, Rachel Davis. Together with David Hollis, Joseph Wallace, Mick McLaughlin and Elenore Li, the Creative Futures team exemplifies how combining expertise with accessibility can create truly meaningful outcomes. Thanks once again to every business we've supported, and remember that applications are now open to join our 10th cohort! But, just for a moment, let us feel proud for all that we achieved so far.
