Startup Pre-Accelerator
The British University is implementing a 7-Month Startup Pre-Accelerator Programme designed to equip its students with the technical, creative, and strategic skills necessary to transform innovative ideas into viable startups.
Programme Overview
Over the first four months, participants will develop a solid foundation in coding, including essential web development, backend programming, and full-stack integration. This hands-on, project-based learning approach allows individuals to independently develop and prototype their startup ideas.
The remaining three months focus on applying these technical skills to the startup journey. Participants will explore ideation, product development, and go-to-market strategies, guided by mentors and industry experts. By the end, participants will have developed functional Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) and validated their ideas for market entry.

Hands-On Experience
Students engage in practical, project-based learning where participants will build a functional MVP and gain real-world experience in developing a startup from scratch.
Entrepreneurial Mindset
Students acquire key insights into problem-solving, market research, and customer discovery techniques. Develop the critical skills needed to navigate the challenges of starting and scaling a business.
Networking Opportunities
Students expand your professional network with access to mentors, investors, and fellow entrepreneurs, allowing participants to gain valuable feedback and advice.
Investor-Ready Pitch
By the end of the programme, students will have a clear, well-structured pitch, business plan, and go-to-market strategy, preparing them to present their startup to potential investors, accelerators, or other funding sources.
Real-Life Startups Interaction
British University students have the unique opportunity to meet with real-life startups who share their experiences and provide insights on navigating the entrepreneurial landscape. These interactions help students plan their path to creating a Georgian unicorn, offering valuable advice on scaling businesses and overcoming challenges.
This intensive programme is part of the British University’s commitment to fostering entrepreneurial skills. The first four months focus on technical development, followed by three months of startup-focused training. Participants will spend 4 hours per week on program activities.
