Tech Startup Academy

What We Do

Tech Startup Academy is part of the Purposeful Group, which offers business, technology, training and consulting expertise to the startup ecosystem.

The Academy is a community and centre for learning which offers professional tech mentoring, consulting, and business guidance to software entrepreneurs, and tech startup founders around the world.

We support tech startup founders and software entrepreneurs, regardless of background, or 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 or not 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.

To date we have worked with tech entrepreneurs on 5 continents, and our books are available at Amazon marketplaces all over the world (https://author.to/knk).

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 Incubator Programme. We are also recognised as an adult learning provider by UKRLP.

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

- Help you make new connections and contacts to assist you on your entrepreneurial journey
