Applying to KQ Labs

The programme is aimed at early-stage data-driven health entrepreneurs looking for support to validate their ideas and develop their business goals in a supportive and enriching environment. We are looking for start-ups who have:

• a focus on areas which have the potential to have a significant impact on health, and where use of data and software is a core part of the business model (this is what we define as data-driven health),
• two or more team members,
• a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), prototype, or proof of concept,
• an early-stage company (pre-Series A),
• their legal entity registered in the UK, and 
• a team based in the UK. 

If you have any questions or would like to chat with a member of the team, get in touch by sending an email to kq-labs@crick.ac.uk.

KQ Labs runs annually between October and March. Applications for the programme closed on 23:59 BST on 10 July 2023

Applying to KQ Labs involves three simple steps. Once you start your application, we will ask you to:

• Fill out a quick online form telling us about you and your company,
• Submit a pitch deck of up to 12 slides (please see our 'Guidance for applicants' for what to include), and
• Submit a two-minute recording of yourselves explaining what you see as the key aspects of your business (this is optional, but strongly recommended).
