Celebrating the diverse & beautifully different.
Launch It Dundee is leading the way towards more inclusive business support with Inclusivate!
This start-up programme is designed for any young person aged 18-30 living in Scotland who feels like they don’t fit in traditional business programmes, providing the skills, support, and environment they need to grow and thrive.
Guiding you in turning your passion into a business.
We understand the need for more opportunities and networks for aspiring young entrepreneurs in Dundee, especially for those from under-represented communities.
This is why Inclusivate is designed as a mindfully tailored guide into turning passions into businesses, delivered by peers who bring real-life experiences and personal stories of overcoming barriers. Participants will learn how to build employability skills, gain start-up knowledge, and benefit from well-being support and access to counselling, if needed.
