partner with impact!

Turnkey collaborates with public sector organisations, growth hubs, local authorities, leading universities, and select industry partners to deliver business development programmes for high growth startups and scaleups. Our partnerships create environments where innovation flourishes, driving meaningful outcomes and extending the impact of our scaleup expertise into high-value initiatives and ecosystems. Our partners benefit from our operator approach, unlocking value and fostering sustainable growth for all stakeholders.

It all starts with innovaTION.

Commercialising innovation

Some of the best ideas never find their way into the real world because the person has no idea how to turn it into a business...

But we aim to change that!

Our Commercialising Innovation programme encourages collaboration between intelligent academics, innovative founders, and the highly skilled Turnkey community, turning more ideas into a commercial reality in creating high growth startups and spinouts.

Our process allows all participating universities and organisations to showcase their ideas to a room full of strategic advisors and investors from the local ecosystem, who can help turn an idea into a commercial proposition.

Grow with investment.

Investment Readiness

High growth businesses need investment to fuel their growth journey. But knowing how to access the right type of investment for you, what documents you need in place, and how to get a successful verdict in your application can be a minefield!

This programme demystifies the world of business finance.

Through a mixture of face-to-face and online workshops, interactive Q&A sessions, business audits and one-to-one support sessions, businesses can develop the investment application for your business, regardless of the type of investment you want to access.

You will leave with clarity around your IP position, the valuation of your business, and areas that you need to develop in your future roadmap. Alongside this you’ll have a financial forecast and pitch deck to use as you start to contact investment partners for growth funding.

scale with innovaTION.

high growth accelerator

If you manage to survive the 90% failure rate, then scaling from 6 figures to 7 or 8 requires very different skills than what got you there. Moving from founder to CEO, whilst building a team around you as you navigate the difficulties of recruitment. Providing the next set of scaleup businesses is critical for regions to grow their GDP, but they all need different areas of development.

Which is why our programme is bespoke to each business.

Whilst there are hundreds of generic programmes for startup support, once you mature and start scaling, the options start to dry up as you require more personalised assistance. Building a bespoke growth plan that includes new tech, processes and governance, with efficiency and optimisation at the core of your developments will see your business strategy evolve to scale.
