This programme is suitable for all businesses, not only startups.

From November to March, look out for workshops and clinics designed to support your business in overcoming challenges and thrive in the fast-paced world of business.

Orbit – Incubator

As part of this programme, we will deliver an incubator designed for side-hustlers who are already trading, generating some income and having some traction while still in employment and working on their dreams. If you are time-poor but passion-rich, and need structure, strategy and a supportive community to take your next leap, Orbits Incubator is for you.

We have partnered with Orbit, founded by Brenda and Shanice, who design transformative learning experiences that spark confidence, connection, and cultural change. Known for their energy, authenticity, and depth, the duo create powerful spaces that move people from awareness to action, leaving a lasting impact in every room they enter.

The incubator will run within the programme from January to March and is for serious side-hustlers!

We will also be

• working with LSBU to support innovative businesses to develop strategies for growth and tap into academic programmes
• delivering workshops in marketing, finance, getting ready for investment, HR
• holding 1-1 clinics to help with business strategy, marketing, grant/loan applications

Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and gain valuable insights. See you there!
