Short Films and Signposting

Spare room to stellar is designed to inspire and equip Belfast entrepreneurs to start and grow a business. It does this by firstly sharing the stories and lessons of 3 businesses that started in a spare room in Belfast and have gone on to compete, and win, on a global scale. Having been inspired by the 3 films, existing and ‘would be’ entrepreneurs can then book a free consultation with Podiem at which they will be signposted to the most relevant sources of support for their idea or early stage business. That might include development programmes, premises, networks, funding or other springboards/incentives. Click on the button below to request a free signposting consultation. ​
