What is the Summer Sprint?

The Summer Sprint is an intensive programme designed exclusively for LawtechUK alumni founders. Taking place across six focused modules, you’ll access the commercial acceleration, strategic clarity, and AI-market expertise needed to turn innovation into scalable, investment-ready ventures.

  • Six focused modules
  • Commercial and strategic growth
  • AI and market insight
  • Peer, mentor and industry network
  • Investment readiness

There are other accelerators and incubators out there but lawtech is still a relatively new field and what LawtechUK offers is specialist insight you wouldn’t get anywhere else. It’s the only place to be as a lawtech founder.
