We are developing a design incubation service for creative and maker startups, that comes in the form of a plug-in to other spaces where the hidden and recent entrepreneurs hang out, and where they might just get that idea off the ground.  We have a sector agnostic approach to our work – combining commercial and also social and not for profit startups to work together. Our companies do not need to be high tech high growth, but high impact startups.In our industry there is a phrase “eat your own dog food’ which graphically illustrates the point that if you are asking others to do something, you should be doing it too. So that’s what we are doing. Prototyping the incubator. Five pilots are up and running across London, and next month in Bristol and Barcelona, to test out these ideas, and to see if there is a place for them. We’ll be sharing what we discover!

We think incubation is a subversive act of reminding people of their innate abilities to create their own living, and we are calling our nomadic incubation service Upstarter.
