Startup School for Seniors

About:

Startup School for Seniors is an online learning and mentoring programme aimed at people aged 50+ who want to launch or scale a small business, turn a passion or idea into income or move into self-employment. Their mission is to help older individuals create the life they want through a supportive business education, community, and mentoring.

Who are they for?

People aged 50 or older who have a business idea (or multiple ideas), a hobby they’d like to monetise, those with a business in early stage or pre-launch, or anyone preparing to start a business who wants structured guidance.

What do they offer?

They deliver a mix of pre-recorded video lessons, workbooks, self-assessment tools, group sessions (weekly live workshops / mentoring), 1:2:1 mentoring, specialist workshops (e.g. funding, cashflow, marketing), and access to a learning portal. They also run sector-specific programmes (e.g. for health & wellness, creative businesses), and “Business Boost” courses for early stage businesses.
