We are excited to announce that ARDHANN has been selected to join the Manchester Venture Builder program, a 12-week hands-on program designed to help transform innovative ideas into market-ready startups.
Accelerating Our Growth Journey
Run by the Masood Entrepreneurship Centre at the University of Manchester, this intensive program will provide us with the tools, mentorship, and resources needed to validate our business model, develop our minimum viable product, and prepare for market entry.
Program Benefits
As part of the Manchester Venture Builder, ARDHANN will receive:
- Mentorship from successful entrepreneurs and industry leaders
- Access to equity-free funding up to £5,000 for MVP development
- Over £10,000 in software perks and cutting-edge tools
- Opportunity to pitch at Demo Day in front of investors and stakeholders
- Integration of AI technologies into our business operations
Program Structure
The program starts with a two-day in-person sprint on April 8-9, 2025, followed by weekly sessions every Wednesday. Using Lean Startup and Agile Sprint methodologies, we'll engage in Build-Measure-Learn cycles to rapidly validate our technology and business model.
Looking Forward
This acceptance into the Manchester Venture Builder is perfect as we continue to gather momentum with our recent selection as a finalist for the Venture Further Awards and our participation in Conception X's Cohort 8. Together, these opportunities provide a powerful platform to accelerate the development and commercialization of our innovative composite solutions.
"The Manchester Venture Builder program offers exactly what we need at this stage of our journey," said Dr. Sangeethsivan Sivakumar, CEO of ARDHANN. "The combination of funding, mentorship, and practical business development will be invaluable as we work to bring our technology to market."
We look forward to sharing our progress as we move through this exciting program and continue our mission to revolutionise hydrogen and hydrocarbon storage and transfer systems with our advanced composite solutions.
