Timeline & Content

70% of startups in Seed Sprint Summer '21 reported an increase in their customer acquisition metrics.

Supporting founders from all backgrounds

We know investors want the returns that margin-heavy companies can offer, which is why so many B2B SaaS startups get funded. Recent Atomico data shows that B2B unicorns overtook B2C for the first time in 2021, and US investors are flocking to Europe to invest in B2B Saas.

When looking through our data, we saw that 71% of women led businesses in our previous cohorts were building consumer focused startups, and this stat, paired with Atomico’s findings that under 2% of funding went to women-led startups in 2020 indicate a significant misalignment between the types of companies getting funded and those that women are founding.

Seed Sprint: Week2Work is focused on helping consumer businesses to generate the metrics and demonstrate the necessary growth needed to win over investors, helping you compete with margin-heavy Saas, whilst changing the face of successful founders in our ecosystem.

Want to prove to investors that you can compete with the B2B businesses? Seed Sprint: Week2Work, brought to you alongside our partners SeedLegals is here to tackle all that.

Seed Sprint: Week2Work is a free-to-join one week sprint open to consumer startups seeking pre-seed and seed investment. Taking place for two hours a day between 21-25 February 2022, each day founders will join a one hour expert talk, designed to strengthen your investment proposition followed by a one hour peer feedback session.
