The Mountain Scholarship

Backing the Next Wave of Entrepreneurs

Every entrepreneur comes from a beginning. The Northwest and Wales are full of people with the ambition, the vision and the drive to build something. Every year, we offer a small number of Mountain Summit places to individuals who are early on that path, to help them on their way.

If you are selected, you will have the full Mountain Summit experience. Two days in the mountains of North Wales, same speakers, same sessions, same conversations. Nothing missing.

We will also pair you with the business that has chosen to back your place. A personal connection to people who are further along the road and want to see you succeed. That relationship does not end when the weekend does.

Who can apply

This is for you if

You are just starting out or have a clear idea of what you want to build.
