What we do
Most great location-data ideas die in the gap between a hypothesis and a product. Geovation closes that gap, pairing founders with the data, engineers and capital to validate fast and go to market with confidence.
Accelerator
Six months of intensive support, then six months hands-off.
Equity-free and built around your milestones. Three tracks, Location Intelligence with Ordnance Survey, PropTech with HM Land Registry and Spatial Prioritisation and Land Use with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Satellite Applications Catapult, run as one programme. Pick a stage to see what’s included.
Apply & Join
A focused application about you, your idea and its validation, not a 40-page form. We select three startups per track each cohort, who join a community of peers and get desk space at the Hub.
