What is GAP?


GAP is a 3-month part-time accelerator programme dedicated to the most promising early-stage startups co-founded by LSE students, staff, and alumni. We run one cohort a year with up to ten commercially viable startups that exhibit potential in attaining at least one of the UNSDGs through entrepreneurial activities.

The programme runs once a year in April-July with the next cohort starting in April 2024.
