Competition Launch

Competition details

SuperTech has up to SIX MVP builds to fund, equivalent to circa £1.2 million worth of free, new product development.

Key details:

You will be asked to submit a short video explaining: your business idea; why you think it is great and why you’re an entrepreneur to be backed through the competition (max 10 mins).

Three spaces are ring-fenced for West Midlands based entrepreneurs - meaning a postcode within the Greater Birmingham & Solihull LEP, Coventry & Warwickshire LEP, and Black Country LEP areas.

The other three spaces are for founders from across the UK (subject to UK right to work checks).

The application process

To enter the competition all you need to do at this stage is complete the application form at the bottom of this page.

The key dates are:

  • Application window: from Wednesday 16th June until Monday 19th July at 5pm
  • Shortlisting: By 20th July
  • Industry-led Panel Selection: 21st July onwards
  • Pre-Accelerator commences August 2021.

What does application success mean?

If you are successful, we’ll work with you to understand your idea and will then build your MVP for you in a fraction of the time it would normally take, in order to help get your idea to market sooner.

This isn’t a conveyor belt incubation approach whereby there are sessions and highly scheduled attendance over a set period of time.

Depending on the state of idea readiness, our approach is to work with the founder to rapid-spec the MVP to create a true market test of the business idea and enable a meaningful business launch.

For some this means generating revenue; for others it can mean onboarding potential customers as a demonstration to investors.
