School For Startups

School for Startups is the inspiration of Doug Richard, a serial entrepreneur and angel investor, who has developed a logical and easy to follow curriculum on vital aspects of starting and running a business.

The "School for Startups" programme - is the UK’s leading provider of business training for entrepreneurs. "We provide expert tuition on how to start a new business, finance and investment, product management, managing successful teams and entrepreneurial marketing."

The chances of success for entrepreneurs have had a significant boost since the "School for Startups" Programme, commenced in 2008. In the next wave of nationwide events, Doug Richard, one of the original 'Dragons' from the hit TV series Dragons' Den, moves ahead with his ambitious plan to fast-track aspiring entrepreneurs on the road to success. The School for Startups programme is a journey that can be travelled in its entirety or in part that helps entrepreneurs through the stages of building a business.

Utilising a highly inspirational format, the seminars take attendees through a logical, carefully constructed model. Drawing on his own experience, Doug Richard helps them identify: whether they have what it takes to be an entrepreneur; if their idea or business concept really has legs; what their next steps should be in order to take the idea forward or grow the business, or indeed whether they need to walk away. They will learn about the potential pitfalls and how to overcome them.
