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 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 are currently open.

You can apply to KQ Labs in 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).
