Tech Events at NatWest Accelerator, Bristol

An hour of pitch practice at the NatWest Accelerator on Avon Street, covering how to talk to potential customers, how to pitch investors, and how to tell the story of the business so that people stay with it. It is a standing Accelerator session rather than a one-off, so the format is short input and then work on your own pitch. Spaces are limited and it is free. The published detail is thin: there is no named coach or speaker on the listing, and no agenda beyond those three headings. Why go: pitching only improves by doing it out loud in front of people who will tell you where they lost interest, and there are few free rooms in Bristol that offer that. Best for early-stage founders who have a deck but have not yet had to defend it.

A monthly morning session for female founders and business leaders at the Bristol NatWest Accelerator. This edition is a wellbeing workshop rather than a business clinic: why being present matters when you are running a company, simple seated yoga movements that need no equipment, a guided mindfulness exercise, a reflective journaling activity on what self-care means to you, and practical ways to carry calm back into work. Led by Katie Hodge, founder of Zenaa, who has created more than 50 retreats across the UK, Europe and Sri Lanka and founded Zenaa Online. Runs 10:00 to 12:00 at the NatWest Accelerator on Avon Street, with networking either side. Free. NatWest notes the content is for information only and is not individual advice. Why go: the draw is the room, not the curriculum, and it is one of the few recurring women-founder spaces in Bristol with an accelerator behind it. Go for the peer contact and the hour off founder mode; skip it if you want fundraising or growth tactics.

She Scales brings women founders together at the NatWest Accelerator for practical conversation about scaling a business.

More than just coffee and a catch-up - this is your monthly moment to pause, connect, and recharge with fellow founders & business leaders.

A relaxed summer afternoon at the NatWest Accelerator celebrating Bristol's startup community — networking, drinks, pizza and mini golf, with an after-party to follow. A friendly reunion for accelerator alumni, current founders and the wider ecosystem to reconnect before the summer break.

Drop-in clinic at the NatWest Accelerator with Daisy Eckett of the West of England Growth Hub — fully funded regional business support covering planning, finance, marketing, mentor-matching and access to grants. Informal conversation over a cup of tea rather than a pitch-deck session; genuine founder value if you qualify for Growth Hub support.
