Sprout is thrilled to announce the selection of our latest cohort for the Sprout Accelerator, marking another milestone in our journey to support and scale the next generation of innovators working towards transforming industries that nourish and sustain life on Earth.

The selection process for the Spring24 Cohort was highly competitive, with an exceptional calibre of founders seeking to elevate their ventures. After a rigorous selection process, we have handpicked a cohort that demonstrates a desire to use their groundbreaking innovation to significantly impact sectors ranging from animal health to food production processes.

Chelsea Hirst, Head of Acceleration and Engagement, shares her thoughts on the selection of our Spring24 Cohort. 

“I am always in awe of the incredible people we hear from through the Sprout Accelerator application process and impressed by their determination to turn their venture into real-world impact. Selecting a cohort is getting tougher each time due to the high calibre of talent, which means selection is increasingly competitive. We know that the startup pathway is tough, so a founder needs to have the commitment to take their solution all the way - tenacity is key! The Spring24 Cohort is full of committed founders, and we are excited to get the Sprout Accelerator underway to see how they progress.” 

We look forward to supporting these 13 ventures as they embark on their journeys through the Sprout Accelerator. Over the next few months, each venture will undergo an intensive journey, blending online sessions with two exclusive in-person Underground events, culminating in an impactful online Showcase with an ecosystem audience.

Join us in congratulating the Sprout Accelerator Spring24 Cohort. Stay tuned for more updates as we highlight each venture through our ‘Meet the Founder’ series throughout the accelerator.
