This 12-month free programme will provide twenty entrepreneurs with professional workspace, skills and connections to build their businesses in their own neighborhood. 
Market Peckham and I LIKE NETWORKING are seeking applicants for their newly-launched accelerator programme for Creative and Tech start-ups which aims to support  a diverse portfolio of local entrepreneurs who face barriers to opportunities due to ethnic origin, socio-economic and/or gender backgrounds. 
The programme, designed by I LIKE NETWORKING and supported by Stride, will allow twenty successful applicants to work alongside each other, and call Market’s professional co-working space ‘home’ for their business, for 12 months.  
During this time participants will attend workshops, networking sessions, partner with a mentor and receive business advice, training and exposure from industry leaders to scale and grow their ideas into viable businesses. 
Founders may apply with just a well-formed idea or a business that has been running for up to three years, as long as it is based in South London and sits within the tech or the creative industries. 
Reports show the disparity when it comes to accessing entrepreneurship support and investment  for women, ethnic minorities and those from lower socio economic backgrounds. Research suggests that accelerator schemes can help founders overcome some of these structural barriers. 
“With the combined economic impacts of Covid and the cost of living crisis, it’s never felt more important to ensure that entrepreneurs from all backgrounds are given opportunities to grow into sustainable long-term businesses, to support their founders but also to create jobs in their local area.  We’re extremely happy to be able to offer this to 20 south Londoners, and want to use this as a test case for many more Peckham Rise programmes in the future.”  – Simon Thorpe, co-founder, MARKET PECKHAM
Sessions will include advice on business planning, networking, marketing and beyond. Participants will be able to make use of Market’s professional workspace, network and ongoing support.  The programme is delivered by I LIKE NETWORKING, an award-winning social enterprise which focuses on increasing diversity and inclusion in the creative industries through mentoring and networking schemes. 
The deadline for applications is midnight on 7 October 2022. 
The programme and workspace offer will run from October 2022 – October 2023
