Press Play Women’s Pre-Accelerator Program

Press Play is an award-winning, experience-led pre-accelerator that helps women transition from corporate, startup or scale-up roles into confident startup founders. Over 12 weeks, participants bring their ideas to life through practical learning, coaching and community support, gaining clarity, confidence and momentum to build viable businesses. Press Play combines facilitated workshops, expert coaching, and a peer community to help founders avoid costly mistakes, validate real customer needs, and build a supportive network, including investors, mentors, and industry partners. The program is designed for women at all stages of the transition into entrepreneurship – from first idea through early customer validation – and is supported by a network of partners committed to founder success. Press Play runs online and in-person options, offering flexible pathways to suit different needs.
