We have just launched Un-Age – a social enterprise that helps under 25 year olds and over 55 year olds create new businesses together in East London. We started Un-Age because we believe that diversity across age and culture creates more interesting and, ultimately, more successful businesses. We are happy to announce that we got the support from Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Hackney Council and are about to run our first inter-generational start up program at East London Business Centre. Check out the Un-Age website and our crowdfunding campaign.

Cannabis / CBD Start Up Accelerator 27th of February

CBD and medical cannabis are a rapidly expanding industry, with consumer demand growing exponentially. CBD oil is used in cooking, mixing cocktails, vaping, and as pain and anxiety relief by athletes and consumers alike. It is a space ready for innovation. Yet informative and educational CBD and Cannabis events are still rare and the legal landscape, business practises and opportunities are fast evolving. This is why we are organising the UK’s first one day accelerator program for startups, young brands, investors and representatives from retailers and corporations to meet, learn and facilitate business deals.

The “Cannabis and CBD Startup Accelerator’ will take place in the afternoon at Droga5’s offices at the newly opened WeWork Campus in Devonshire Square, ideally positioned between the City of London and Shoreditch. Read more here
