If you’re a startup founder in the UK, you probably over-index in hard work, determination, and resilience. Data from Statista shows that over 90% of startups in the UK fail in their first year. And only 39% of startups launched between 2019 and 2022 are still in business.
When it comes to building a sustainable business, the road from ideation to implementation can be challenging, tough, brutal, emotional… but also immensely rewarding. At Growth Studio, we’ve been fortunate to guide hundreds of startups through this journey, particularly through our work with the recent Amazon Sustainability Accelerator where we put these principles into real action (and for context, the startups we have worked with at Amazon have raised over £39 million in the past three years and increased their sales by over 700%).
I am frequently asked about the ins and outs of Founders joining an accelerator: Should we? Is it a waste of time? How do you weed out the great ones from the terrible ones? What will investors think?
At Growth Studio, we help startups focused on improving planet health, succeed, grow and attract investment.
