BIRMINGHAM · COHORT 1 · JAN 2027
Stop planning.
Start trading.
EB is a free, selective incubator for student founders who are done with ideation. The full business stack, real practitioners, and no hiding places — for 12 months, at £0.
WHERE THE OTHERS STOP
The after
Your university taught you to write the business plan. The competition gave you a certificate. Then the programme ended — right where the hard part starts. EB is the after. We take founders who want to actually trade and give them everything a new business needs to operate, plus the accountability to make sure it happens.
DOMAIN TO TRADEMARK
The whole stack, free for 12 months
Bought separately: thousands of pounds. In EB: £0, no strings. Rajoka builds these products — that's why we can give you all of them.
THE RHYTHM
No hiding places
What did you ship this week? You'll answer that question every Monday, in writing, for 16 weeks.
MONDAY · EVERY WEEK
The written check-in
Three lines: WHAT SHIPPED · WHAT'S STUCK · ONE NUMBER. Miss three and you're out.
WEDNESDAY · IN PERSON
The session
Two hours in Birmingham — practical workshops and founder hot-seats. Practitioners, not lecturers. You show up, or you explain why in Monday's check-in.
FORTNIGHTLY · 45 MIN
The 1:1
Forty-five minutes with your mentor, every other week. Your number on the table, your next fortnight planned.
SELECTION
Who gets in
Students and recent graduates (within ~3 years) with a venture they intend to trade. International founders explicitly welcome — we're one of the few programmes that can handle your visa questions.
MOST APPLICANTS DON'T GET IN. THAT'S THE POINT.
NO FEES · NO EQUITY · NO OBLIGATION
Free means free
No fees. No equity. No obligation to use anything after the programme. Rajoka runs EB for deal flow, university partnerships and goodwill — and because we were student founders once and nothing like this existed.
