This week's Top 10 Opportunities
Issue 838, Mon 6 April, 2026
Dear Escapees,
Applications are now open for the next Startup Accelerator.
It’s back, and we’ve rebuilt it for 2026.
A lot has changed since we first ran this programme. It is easier than ever to test an idea, make something real, and get it out into the world. But that does not make it easy to do on your own. People still need time, structure, accountability, and other people around them who get it.
This is for people who want to start something of their own but have not quite got moving yet. Some already have an idea they want to explore. Others are weighing up a few directions, or know they want to build something but have not landed on what yet.
The Startup Accelerator is a remote programme designed to help you make real progress. It’s practical, action-focused, and built for people doing this alongside the rest of their life.
You’ll get dedicated time carved out each week, accountability, honest support, and a group of people around you who understand what this stage feels like.
A lot of people do not need more information. They need the time, structure and momentum to finally do something with an idea.
We’re only running one cohort this year, starting Tuesday 9th June.
And if you’re here for the jobs, this week’s hand-picked Top 10 is just below.

P.S. Early bird pricing is available until 24th April.
