Starter for 6
We're now in our final year of Starter for 6 - an enterprise training programme that supports up-and-coming creative entrepreneurs across Scotland.
Over the last three years we've supported around 250 creative individuals, providing them with a tailored business support package including enterprise training, peer mentoring and grants of up to £10,000.
This is the last year NESTA will be running Starter for 6. This means that from now on, we won't be accepting any further applications. Instead, we'll be looking at ways we can package up our knowledge, learning and insights from the programme and pass it on to others who may be interested in running their own version of Starter for 6.
What we've learned from Starter for 6
We've recently commissioned an evaluation of our Starter for 6 programme. This includes our key findings and achievements, backed up by case studies of some of the talented individuals we've supported over the last three years.
