About Acorn Enterprise

We Are On A Mission to Grow Central Scotland's Entrepreneurial Culture!

Acorn Enterprise - Student Enterprise Education - Colleges and Universities - About Us

Established in 2013, Acorn Enterprise is a not-for-profit organisation on a mission to grow Central Scotland's Entrepreneurial Culture!

We provide an environment for people to try out new business ideas without risking everything. Our FREE 20-week Business Accelerator Programme is open to people who have a business idea or have been trading for around 3 years.

From these applicants, we then select a limited number of business owners to join the programme, who we call 'Acorns'.
We work with our Acorns to break down the barriers that prevent or limit people from launching a new business by giving them confidence, connections and key business skills.
We provide office:
  • Free office space that encourages collaboration
  • Weekly seminars that develop and challenge
  • A business mentor who provides accountability and much much more.

Applications for our Business Accelerator Programme are currently closed. Please check back soon.

 

Remember, from little Acorns...mighty Oaks grow! 

"Fife College were delighted to work in partnership with Acorn Enterprise to organise a Business Bootcamp.

The presenters were first class and mixing recent graduates with existing business owners gave that additional support to the students.

We will be certainly hosting another!"

We are now looking to increase the impact of our proven enterprise activities to help even more Colleges and Universities across the world!
