You will have demonstrated traction and are now looking to develop and scale up your business. Founders must be living/operating in London, Cambridge and Peterborough.
We will accept participants outside of these locations if you are willing to attend the in-person sessions in London.

Demo Day
To conclude our Impact Accelerator programme, our cohort will showcase their ventures through our Demo Day in November 2023. Our ventures that successfully qualify for the Demo Day through a series of pitch practices will be coming together in London, to pitch to an audience of impact investors (angels, VCs, family offices), advisors, start-up founders and stakeholders in the impact space.
The Demo Day is a culminating exercise for all our founders to invite the Allia community to join them in their start-up journey.
The Allia team has been really brilliant from start-to-finish. They always made time for us and made exceptional listeners and sounding boards. They regularly surprised us with thoughtful introductions out of the blue – to highly relevant mentors, industry leaders and investors.”
