Phase One is London's only 3-day micro-incubator event, where aspiring founders go from idea to pitch in a single weekend.
Launch Weekend is perfect for anyone who wants to launch a startup, work on an idea they have or join someone else's idea and help make it a reality.
Tickets includes access to all 3-days of Launch Weekend, 5x catered meals, access to all of our mentors and workshops, and the chance to win all of the prizes and benefits listed on this page!
Phase One doesn't take equity in any startup at the event. Signing up for the event to does not grant Phase One any right to equity in your startup.
No! Everyone is welcome!
Our participants are a mix of technical and non-technical people, and there is no requirement that you need to code to attend the event.
We expect 25-50% of our attendees to bring an idea, and you'll be asked if you have an idea when you register for the event.
Since half of our attendees won't bring an idea, there is no need to have an idea to attend the event.
Neither Phase One, our partners/sponsors, or our mentors/judges have any claim to the IP you create at the event.
We will not be able to offer you specific legal counsel at the event, and if IP is a concern to you then we encourage you to seek external counsel outside of the event.
Remember, startups are won and lost on execution, not ideas! Don't let fears about IP deter you from attending.
After the event you'll be part of the Phase One community, and you'll be invited to all of our future events, unless you opt-out.
We partner with incredible mentors and companies at each of our Launch Weekends to support you after the event, and winning teams will be introduced to the right people to access the prizes described on the 'Tickets & Benefits' section of this site.
