Accelerate Your Dream
A New Era For Founders
HelpBnk is teaming up with SuperteamUK to help educate founders on the future of the internet. Backed by a $100k grant fund and accelerator for ambitious UK founders.
The internet connects us all, but today, it’s dominated by a handful of large corporations who control how we interact, build, and grow.
That’s not the future we believe in.
New tools are emerging that let businesses raise capital, serve their customers, and scale without relying on gatekeepers. They enable a new kind of economy, one powered by community ownership, transparent systems, and always-on access to funding.
Superteam UK and HelpBnk are here to help founders take the leap.
Through our new grant program and accelerator, we’re offering UK founders the chance to future-proof their business, with funding, mentorship, and hands-on support to adapt their ideas and models to this new era.
