What sort of support is offered?
If your idea, business concept or venture is selected, we will work with you to put together a comprehensive package of support that helps you to achieve defined market-orientated goals.
Our support can encompass an array of the Catapult’s capabilities including, but not limited to, technical expertise, business support services and use of our facilities.
We will draw up a costed proposal for our support. You can either pay us for the work, find collaborative funding for elements, or agree an equity package – whatever works for you.

Who’s it for?
The Spin-Up Factory targets business ideas that have high growth potential and where the Catapult is the most appropriate organisation to support. The selection process will consider the business opportunity (market, team, product/ technology and finance) and the specific areas where Catapult can help.
If you can meet the following key eligibility criteria, we want to hear from you:
- Your ambition is to create or grow a business in the UK
- It’s related to satellite applications
- There is demonstrable potential to grow rapidly
