Early-stage space businesses seeking investment are being invited to apply for Fusion, a specialist accelerator programme from the UK Space Agency Accelerator designed to help ambitious founders prepare for and secure investment. The fully funded programme supports UK space ventures and supply chain companies that are looking to raise up to £3 million in pre-seed or seed funding.
Fusion is aimed at businesses that have already achieved commercial traction and are preparing to enter active fundraising. Through a combination of expert mentoring, investor engagement, workshops, and one-to-one support, participants will gain the tools and confidence needed to navigate the investment process and present a compelling proposition to potential investors.
A key focus of the programme is helping founders refine their investment story. Participants will work with experienced investors, fund managers, and successful entrepreneurs to strengthen their business case, improve pitch materials, and develop a clear fundraising strategy. The programme also provides practical guidance on critical topics such as valuations, cap tables, term sheets, and investment negotiations.
Fusion goes beyond investment readiness by facilitating introductions to investors who understand the challenges and opportunities within the space sector. Participants will have opportunities to build relationships with active investors and present their ventures to people with capital to deploy. They will also join a cohort of like-minded founders and become part of the wider UK Space Agency Accelerator network.
The programme is open to UK-headquartered businesses operating within the space sector or wider space supply chain that are actively preparing to raise investment and engage with investors. Fusion offers a unique opportunity to accelerate fundraising activity while benefiting from expert guidance and a supportive peer network.
For Yorkshire’s growing space community, Fusion provides a valuable route to investment, expert support, and strategic connections that can help transform innovative ideas into scalable businesses.
