Harker is on Baltic Ventures’ 2025 Launchpad programme

Baltic Ventures, an early-stage tech accelerator based in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle area, supports promising tech start-ups and their founders to grow in a sustainable and investment-ready way. Being based close to home, we’ve had the pleasure of knowing the Baltic Ventures team, ecosystem partners and founders alumni for the past few years. In 2024, we applied to be on their flagship Accelerator programme, where we were unsuccessful. After some critical feedback and key learnings, we are now proud to have successfully joined their Launchpad 2025 cohort.

The Launchpad programme acts as an extension to their Accelerator programme, offering early-stage support in establishing and executing a market strategy, along with mentorship on how to demonstrate this to investors. For Harker, this support comes at a key point as we’re preparing to launch our platform in spring 2025. Launchpad will give us the skills and connections to place in the best position for a successful and impactful first few months on the market. In addition, our values align with those of Baltic Ventures, particularly sustainability and community, so we’re equal-parts honoured and excited to be part of their programme.

James Barber, CEO & Co-Founder, said

“I am incredibly proud that Harker is taking part in Baltic Ventures Launchpad 2025, following in the footsteps of some incredibly successful businesses who have gone on to do brilliant, impactful things. As we enter our launch year, this comes at the perfect time for us, and we can’t wait to get engaged in the programme, properly get to know our peers and work with the fantastic Baltic Ventures team!”
