Accelerate Cambridge is a startup “accelerator” established by Cambridge Judge Business School in May 2012. The School is situated in the centre of Cambridge, at the heart of the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge Cluster, the city’s academic and business networks, both of which have a long tradition of entrepreneurship.
We provide teams of entrepreneurs a structured approach across a 10-week programme that combine online lectures, workshops, weekly coaching and mentoring. Our programme empowers entrepreneurs.
Many of the businesses in the cluster were established by students, alumni, faculty, staff of the University, and residents of the city.
