What our community says about us

  • Hotbed has easily been one of the most valuable accelerator programmes I have been on. A fantastic community with world class speakers!

    Oliver Bourne, Founder @ whyspr

  • The Hotbed program combines access to leading investors with super relevant content and the support of a likeminded community. A hugely valuable resource for any founder that has played an essential role in our growth.

    Daniel Hemsley, Founder @ Beagle

  • I can safely say Hotbed's accelerate programme has been one of the greatest learning experiences. The variety of subject matter expertise combined with workshops and pitch practice sessions allowed us to really improve the offering we provide.

    Bobby A, Founder @ Lobster Money
