FirstPort's LaunchMe Cohort | Investment Readiness Programme

8 Jun 2026

The LaunchMe programme returns on Tuesday 18 August!

LaunchMe is an investment readiness programme that helps social and community enterprises prepare to secure investment to scale. Investment readiness is the process of preparing your business for growth so that you can leverage funding, investment, and loans to achieve social and commercial impact at scale. Becoming investment ready is an intensive process, and social entrepreneurs can take two months to two years to get there.  

The LaunchMe programme includes: 

• A programme of support tailored to the needs of your business and at your pace.
• Access to expert training with workshops delivered by experts in different business areas.
• A peer network of other LaunchMe participants to share experiences, learn from each other, and foster collaboration.
• Signposting and support to approach loan providers, funders and social investors to find the right investment options for your growth plans.
• A hands-on, knowledgeable, and dedicated support team that will encourage, challenge and champion you so you get the most out of the programme.
