Our online webinars are getting more and more popular. Therefore, we hope that you'll love what we have lined up this month.

In March, we ran an open event covering the key steps and getting your business started. This is an important session for us because it addressed all of the fund aspects within our Quickstart course which is a part of our Pulse Accelerate program - you can see the summary and link for this session below.

We also hosted a dedicated closed event for immigration specialist to talk about a range of aspects including the upcoming MAC review, Innovator International's impressive performance to date, and a glimpse of what else we have planned for the coming weeks, months and years.

RECAP || 18 March 2026: Getting Your Business Started

On 18th March, we hosted a session dedicated to one of the most fundamental questions international entrepreneurs face: where do you actually begin? And as with so many things on this journey, the answer is: it depends, and that's not a bad thing.

From choosing the right business structure to understanding how funding is assessed (it's no longer about a fixed figure, it's about proving you have enough to reach a sustainable position), the session covered the essentials. But the biggest message? Don't try to do this alone. Founders who seek guidance early are significantly better placed than those who piece it together as they go.

RECAP || 18 March 2026: Getting Your Business Started
In this webinar, Innovator International provided a practical introduction to the first steps international entrepreneurs should take when starting a business in the UK. A key message was that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Founders can choose from a range of business structures—including limited companies, CICs, and charities—depending

RECAP || 25 Feb 26: How do you evidence demand for a project?

On 25th February, we tackled one of the questions that comes up time and again on the Innovator Founder journey: how do you actually prove there's demand for your idea? And the reassuring news is that endorsement bodies aren't looking for confirmed sales or a specific format — they want to see that you understand your market, have validated the problem, and can show credible customer interest.

That might be letters of intent, pilot conversations, waitlists, structured surveys, or simply well-documented interviews with potential customers. The emphasis is firmly on quality over quantity, and for pre-revenue founders, that's an important reminder.

RECAP || 25 Feb 26: How do you evidence demand for a project?
In this webinar, Innovator International explored one of the most important elements of a successful Innovator Founder visa endorsement application: evidencing genuine market demand. A key takeaway was that endorsement bodies are not looking for a single prescribed format, such as mandatory preliminary surveys or confirmed sales. Instead, they want

Your Website Is Your Shopfront
Your website is often the first impression someone has of your business. Think about it. Before a potential customer walks through your door, picks up the phone, or responds to your email, they’ve probably already checked you out online. They’ve scrolled through your homepage, clicked around a bit, maybe even

Be careful who you trust...
I’ve never been a big fan of business books — or, for that matter, certain types of business consultants. The reason is simple: many of them build their entire message around their own success stories. They tell you what worked for them, as if it’s a universal formula. But

What Dragons’ Den Teaches About Securing Investment
There are not many TV programmes that genuinely double as business school. Dragons’ Den is one of them (though with an important caveat we will come back to). If you have not watched it, here is the premise. Entrepreneurs walk into a vast, intimidating warehouse space, face five of the
