Accelerate Your Funding Series Part 6- Pitching 101

What is the 'Accelerate Your Funding' Series? Fund your business your way!

• A series of six individual workshops, spread over 12-weeks, collectively called “Funding Accelerator”. In Milton Keynes these are taking place fortnightly starting Wednesday 18th September 2025. (Skipping 2nd Oct)

• Participants with hub access passes are welcome to stay until the coworking space closes at 8pm.
