PROGRAMMES SPRINGBOARD

SPRINGBOARD EiRs

SOME OF OUR RECENT ALUMNI

“Through the Springboard programme, we benefited from extremely high quality mentoring from Virgin StartUp mentor, Darren Craig. Darren donated time each week to help us resolve the various problems we were facing – from business model generation, to producing a sales strategy and preparing for investment. I can’t stress enough how valuable it was to have such a successful and passionate entrepreneur – someone who has been there and done it himself - giving us regular, hands-on mentoring and help.”

“Graduating from Springboard was a significant milestone for our business. Our EiR supported us with first-class mentorship and gave us a fresh, objective view of our business. By drawing on our EiR’s 30+ years of business experience, and taking guidance from NISP CONNECT, we were able to recruit industry peers, including business directors from sports industry and commercial backgrounds.”
