Focused exclusively on supporting professionals from top-tier creative agencies, consultancies, and market-leading companies.
OUR MISSION
& VISION
Become the UK’s No.1 startup incubator for purpose-driven, career-experienced founders. Empowering first-time founders to build world-class startups that positively impact millions of lives.
Empower professionals from top-tier creative agencies, consultancies, and FTSE 500 corporations with intelligent, personalised support, enabling them to transition from successful careers to thriving startup founders.
SUPPORT TAILORED TO
YOU
Unlike most incubator programs we recognise you have existing commitments. The idea of prematurely leaving a well-paid career to join an unpredictable, multi-month incubator program simply isn’t realistic.
Humble isn’t just a program—it’s an embedded, structured support system, invested in your success, that de-risks your transition from career professional to startup founder. With Humble, you don’t have to choose between stability and starting something extraordinary. You can do both.
Remote support
Over a 6-month period we provide you with 200 hours of deep strategic guidance, a network of fractional concepting talent, and pre-seed capital to accelerate your progress. Our highly personalised, fully remote advisory program seamlessly integrates into your current reality—whether you're validating an idea, refining your strategy, or ready to raise. We bring strategic expertise and hands-on support to ensure you make real progress.
Flexible advisory team
We help you assemble a team of world-class advisors offering the domain and discipline expertise you need to complement your current capabilities, whilst bridging any gaps in experience. Scale your team dynamically—bring in new advisors as required and pause others based on your evolving needs and priorities.
Single-point of contact
A dedicated point of contact streamlines all interactions with Humble, acting as your central liaison for advisor engagement and concepting support. This ensures smooth communication, reduces administrative overhead, and allows you to stay focused on building and growing your startup.
Execution-focused
We’re not here to pontificate—we work alongside you to solve real challenges across team building, product development, business modelling, brand and marketing strategy, and seed fundraising. Our advisors bring deep expertise and hands-on experience, ensuring that guidance turns into action and progress, not just theory.
BUILD YOUR TEAM
Building a startup requires the right people at the right time, but assembling a high-functioning team can be one of the biggest barriers to momentum. Instead of making pre-mature hiring or co-founder decisions, fractional support helps you move faster and smarter.
Fractional support, when you need it
Tap into our network of highly skilled engineers, designers, creatives, marketers, and business operators when you need them. Our curated network is world-class, ensuring you get the right expertise at the right time to drive you forward.
Accelerated execution
AI is advancing at an incredible pace—generating prototypes and driving your startup forward has never been easier. We integrate AI-powered tools to streamline research, strategy, product development, and operational workflows—reducing time spent on manual processes. AI enhances speed and efficiency, while our experienced professionals ensure context, strategy, and execution are aligned.
Connect with Co-founders
When the time is right, we help you find the ideal co-founders who complement your knowledge, skills, and experience, while meeting the needs of your growing startup. Through our extensive network, we connect you with co-founders who not only bring valuable functional expertise but also the perfect fit with your team’s culture.
ACCESS TO £$€
Raising capital as a first-time founder can be challenging—especially if you don’t fit the mold of a typical VC-backed startup. Our program provides a robust approach to funding by combining the power of angels, crowd and first-customer funding, government grants and loans, and venture capital to help you access the right funding at the right time.
Crowdfunding support
We help you leverage community-driven funding to test demand, build early traction, and secure initial capital without heavy dilution.
Strategic VC partnerships
We connect founders with aligned venture investors who back strong concepts, validated business models, and experienced professionals transitioning into startups.
Investor-Ready Preparation
Our advisory program ensures your startup is funding-ready, with clear positioning, financials, and traction strategies that speak to both retail investors and institutional VCs.
Maximum Optionality
We help you combine crowd and first-customer funding, government grants and loans, angel investment, and VC funding in a way that maximises capital efficiency and long-term ownership.
