A Founder-First Approach
NDRC has supports for entrepreneurs at every stage, from that first conversation all the way to Series A.
Supporting you on your Startup Journey
We think deeply about the help you need along every step of the entrepreneurial journey. We’ll give you early feedback on your idea, and help you navigate the ecosystem quickly.
If you’re further along, our mentor-led programmes help you develop and structure your idea to raise investment and scale.
“Joining a community, sharing your idea, getting feedback and support are all parts of what makes a startup successful.”
