Newport Neurodivergent Start-up Launchpad

Start your business journey in a space designed for you! 🧠✨

Want to explore the idea of starting a business, but don’t know where to start? The Neurodivergent Start-up Launchpad is an 8-week programme designed specifically to guide neurodiverse individuals step by step.

Whether you’re brimming with ideas or just beginning to think about your options, this programme will help you grow in confidence, explore self-employment, and discover whether running a business is right for you.

Who is this for? This course is specifically focused on the neurodiverse community.

• No official diagnosis required: Whether you are formally diagnosed, on a waiting list, or self-identify as neurodivergent, you are strictly welcome here.
• No polished idea needed: You don’t need a business plan to join—we will support you in sparking ideas along the way.

What to expect:

• A Safe Space: Explore entrepreneurship in a supportive, empowering, and understanding environment.
• Clarity: Even if you decide business isn't for you, you will gain valuable insights and practical tools for your next steps.
• Community: Connect with the 5-9 Club and peers who think like you do!

Bonus Session: 'Try before you Fly' To help you settle in and get ready for the course, we are hosting a special online warm-up session.

• Date: 22/01/2026
• Format: 2-hour Online Session
