Purposeful Group & Tech Startup Academy™
What We Do
Tech Startup Academy™ is part of Purposeful Group. We specialise in delivering entrepreneurship, technology and digital skills training, and we provide books, mentoring, workshops and programmes to the entrepreneurship, startup, and tech startup ecosystems.
The Academy is a community and centre for learning which offers professional tech mentoring, education, and business guidance to software entrepreneurs, and tech startup founders around the world, across 6 continents and 14 countries. We have a community of over 1,500 entrepreneurs, technologists and investors, and a range of more than 35 workshops and accredited programmes for our customers to experience. Our books are available at Amazon marketplaces all over the world (https://author.to/knk).
We support tech startup founders and software entrepreneurs, regardless of their previous business, or technical experience, and empower them by providing the information they need to start their tech businesses the SMART way through our specialist, modular workshops and 90 day programmes.
Regardless of whether you apply, or make it onto an accelerator programme, we are THE place to come to get clued up about starting your tech driven business, and to receive structured information that will give you the skills and knowledge to progress, and build your tech business step-by-step.
Our workshops for entrepreneurs have been externally approved, and we are able to offer internationally recognised qualifications to entrepreneurs that complete core modules from our Tech Startup Academy™ Programme. We are also recognised as an adult learning provider by the UK government.
We're here to help you increase your chances of success, and to support you on your journey from your initial idea, through to the launch of your software business!
Our mission
We still hear far too many horror stories in the tech startup ecosystem and we are on a mission to:
- Stop you wasting unnecessary time, money and energy as you start and build your tech business
- Decrease the stress and confusion around how to get started
- Explain in practical terms what you need to know, and do the SMART way, so you're not reinventing the wheel, or going round in circles
- Help you avoid the risks, and pitfalls that affect new tech entrepreneurs and limit their progress
- Provide you with resources and tools to support your business, and make it easier to run
- Help you make new connections and contacts to assist you on your entrepreneurial journey
