We were delighted to be approached by Catalyst in late 2021 to run an interview piece on our participation in the Springboard programme. Springboard is a flexible, personalised mentoring programme for entrepreneurs ready to scale their start-up and raise investment. Leveraging the ‘been there- done that’ experience of and Entrepreneurs in Residence (EIRs) and mentors, Springboard surrounds you with a network of critical friends who stress-test your product idea and business model, increasing your company’s resilience and accelerating your path to success.

In part-taking in Springboard, Liam and Maria said, "At Sustain IQ, we have developed a software tool that helps companies improve how their business monitors, measures and reports on social, environmental and economic performance. Springboard helped us at a critical juncture of our business by providing us with mentorship and support to allow us to understand our pricing strategy and how to present our story. It also allowed us to become ‘investor ready’ and we were successful in raising our pre-seed funding at the start of 2021."
