Our 12-week embedded accelerator is designed with the goal of helping companies build scalable electronic products.
From design-for-manufacture, to streamlining supply chains, we equip cohort members with the tools, knowledge, and connections needed to develop electronics products that not only work but can grow with demand.
The AND Lab accelerator program is designed for researchers, start-ups and companies with electronics products, who are ready to move beyond the DIY phase into the realm of professional-grade electronics. The aim is to help develop scalable electronics that will be disruptive in the market, attract investment, and grow.

ANDtr are investing up to £375,000k in companies that are delivering embedded technology to market. Cohorts members receive 2/3 matched funding up to 25k. This is in exchange for IP license agreement, or equity stake with buy-out options at next funding round. Two cohorts will be run per year, one in spring and one in Winter. Across both cohorts, up to 20 members will be selected for the program.
Based between Essex and London, our facilities will become open to cohort members. This includes our electronics equipment, test chambers, rapid prototyping and 3D printers.
There is also a boutique co-working space provided where members can upskill, network and collaborate with other embedded tech start-ups on the cohort.
A portion of profits will be re-invested into following cohorts to offer a larger scale of funding for future innovators. Integration with other programs and services will boost the accelerator offering, helping the members grow beyond the cohort.
Engagement with engineering charities will enable the accelerator to offer engineering experience and opportunities to grow the pool of innovators within the UK. We aim to provide valuable experience to those looking to join the electronics industry through work schemes, charity engagement and more.
