Tramshed Tech launch Startup Academy supported by Google!
We’re thrilled to announce that we are launching our very own Startup Academy supported by Google for Startups! A twelve-week programme taking place every Thursday from 30th September 2021.
As the fastest growing business incubator in Wales, we are always looking for ways to better support our community of 50+ companies and 600+ registered members from the local digital and tech community. Over the past two years, Tramshed Tech have partnered with Carmarthen and Newtown Focus Enterprise Hubs to deliver Startup Academy's for pre and post-start companies across Wales with a goal to take businesses from concept to investment within twelve weeks. We’ve seen huge success with this programme boasting a 92.5% satisfaction rate. Building on what we’ve learnt, we are now launching our very own Startup Academy supported by Google for Startups!
“At Google for Startups we believe that the next groundbreaking innovation can be built anywhere. We’ve been so impressed with the Welsh startup community for years now, and Tramshed sits at the very heart of it. Having supported and connected us to some of our amazing alumni startups like Awen Collective or Concentric Health, taking on big challenges in the space of cybersecurity and healthcare, we’re thrilled to work with Tramshed Tech again and help discover the next big Welsh startup ” Marta Krupinska, Head of Google for Startups UK
