For outstanding ideas

Help your idea grow up.

Pencyl will support outstanding projects in exploring their potential as businesses. The next steps depend on the strength of the work and what the project needs.

Any separate business arrangement, ownership agreement, investment or other commercial terms will be discussed explicitly. Taking the course does not guarantee business support, funding or commercial success.
