Elevate with NoBa.

Welcome to Elevate with NoBa — a founder-first programme designed to give you the edge to reach your standout seed round. This is more than investment; it’s the execution support, expertise and community you need to build with confidence.

Your journey from Pre-Seed to Seed starts here

Cohort 1: Fridays | 7 November 2025 – 30 January 2026 | London + Virtual

Over six intensive weeks, we’ll help you sharpen your vision, build the right team and culture, leverage AI to scale smarter, validate your market, and craft a compelling seed story — all alongside peers who understand exactly what you’re going through.
