The Fortuna Fellowship is a unique 12-month accelerator offering five ambitious female founders an unparalleled opportunity to scale their businesses. With expert guidance and the potential to secure a share of a £2 million investment fund, our founders will gain the resources and support they need to achieve lasting success.

We’ve partnered with venture capital firm, Future Planet Capital Regional, to launch this groundbreaking accelerator. They manage the West Midlands Co-Investment Fund and have committed £1 million towards our investment pot.

Over the course of 12 months, each founder are paired with a high-level mentor, will have access to the investment team with weekly ‘office hours’, and will take part in workshops with leading experts. They also come together for co-working and embark on a unique innovation residential.

If that wasn’t enough, a central advisory board will provide the cohort with guidance from industry leaders in areas such as product testing, manufacturing, go-to-market strategy, exporting, and investment.

This project is delivered by The 51% Club and Future Planet Capital Regional, in partnership with West Midlands Combined Authority’s West Midlands Co-Investment Fund.
