The Evolve Story

Evolve was born from the desire to do accelerators differently and truly empower the people behind businesses.

Over at Entrepreneurial Spark, our parent organisation, we’ve been in the business of accelerators for over 12 years. We’ve set up 27 accelerators across four continents, delivered over 90 cohorts and supported over 5000 entrepreneurs to accelerate and succeed.

But we recognised the need for a new type of accelerator, as we heard time and again of entrepreneurs tired of waiting for cohorts, getting put off by lengthy or unclear application processes, or being bound to generic learning programmes that didn’t truly push them.

So, we set out to create an innovative online, on-demand, sector agnostic accelerator - more inclusive than ever before - for entrepreneurs aiming to build growth businesses. Thus Evolve was born.

Harnessing the amazing power of online community (thanks Circle!), over a decade of expertise, laser focused programmes and focus on wellbeing and mindset, we’re ready to make waves in the accelerator sector and we’re ready to welcome like-minded entrepreneurs motivated to take action.
