We can't believe it's already May, this year has gone so fast. As always, we're busy behind the scenes and our team are working hard on the increased applications coming through, including the applicants who have had to transition from Endorsing Bodies who are no longer trading . Not only that, we are continuing to keep key events happening as much as possible, including our big in person event toward the end of this month - are you coming?
Let's recap on what's already happened as well as looking at some other dates to add to your diaries...
Upcoming changes to Innovator Pulse
We've offered free access to a wide range of the materials on innovatorpulse.com for a while – we are now in the process of making more of the materials exclusively available to our paying members. Don't worry – you will still be able to access the most recent documents through the Innovator Pulse homepage, but if you won't access to all of the amazing materials and features we have, it's time to join!
The big change comes with our events. We will still be running free webinars which anyone can attend, but the ability to watch a session back add access our older catalogue of videos will only be available to those with a paid membership.
You can see more about our membership options here:

Open Webinar || 17 June 2026: What is Innovation? (Part 2)
Following on from the What is Innovation session on 21 April we’ll be looking at some case studies to highlight what is innovation – and what is not.
In Part 1 we laid the foundations — unpacking what innovation really means in the context of the Innovator Founder visa, why it is so frequently misunderstood, and how even experienced founders can misjudge where the bar sits. We looked at the relationship between innovation, viability and scalability, and why a strong application needs all three working together. If you missed it, we strongly recommend watching the recording before joining us for Part 2.

Starting our Venture Cafe experience
Our team were present and correct attending the first Venture Cafe Manchester Event last Thursday and it was incredible. From the moment Richard and James arrived to the final goodbye there was a lot to digest. We won't write it all here as our latest article will give you a sense of the evening:
