What we've been up to:

Programme Director Gabi spoke to some of the incredible solo founders in our network, based in the UK, US and India, about the challenges and upsides of being the only founder of a business. Don't miss her post on solo founders either!

Do you have questions about the accelerator? Do you want to discuss your startup, idea or anything else? Chat to the programme team - we’d love to help! If there are no suitable slots, email us and we’ll find some time for you.

ICYMI, here's our video from this year's virtual Farnborough International Airshow. You'll meet our first cohort and hear from the programme team, the ATI, Boeing and GKN Aerospace.

News from the network:

Does the battery tech vs. hydrogen debate misses the bigger picture? The Engineer thinks the two are complementary; a combined solution to achieving decarbonisation in the transportation industry.

We really enjoyed this OpEd from the CEO of Boeing Global Services on why the ADS industry needs to do more to encourage workforce diversity. Definitely worth a read!

Want to learn more about the new FlyZero project and how UK industry and academia will be able to nominate people to join the 100-strong team? Here's how.

In June, oceanographer and former NASA astronaut Kathy Sullivan made history with her 35,810-foot dive to the Challenger Deep.

If you’re a startup founder (or you know someone who is) interested in applying for our next cohort, please follow us on Twitter to learn more about what's coming.
