What support can look like

Barayamal is looking for practical support that helps founders test ideas, build confidence, make useful connections and move into the right next pathway after the pre-accelerator.

  • One-to-one or small group mentoring.
  • Workshop support on customers, finance, tech, legal, marketing or pitching.
  • Introductions to customers, funders, accelerators, partners or sector experts.
  • Founder resources, templates, tools or pro bono support.
  • Regional referrals and community outreach support.
  • Pathways for founders into further programs, procurement or investment readiness.

Useful partner pathways

  • Mentors: share practical experience, review founder thinking or support pitch preparation.
  • Community and regional organisations: refer eligible founders, help with outreach and identify participation barriers early.
  • Industry partners: provide customer insight, technical advice, introductions or challenge statements.
  • Funders and ecosystem partners: help founders understand grants, procurement, investment readiness or next-step programs.
