Impulse Programme collaboration

Founder of The Unlock, Ben Strutt, is supporting the 2026 Impulse Programme cohort of science and tech researchers as a business expert. An event was held at the Ray Dolby Centre on 30th April, to celebrate the completion of this year's first module!

Impulse is an established University of Cambridge entrepreneurship programme that combines personal skills development with tech accelerator mentoring support, guiding participants to assess the strength of their ideas, build credible business plans, expand their networks, and decide their next steps with confidence.

The three-month ‘action learning’ programme combines workshops, expert advice, personalised support and invaluable networking opportunities. Over ten years, this powerful formula has delivered consistent real-world impact, helping many participants win investment, launch new ventures, and spin out their research to commercial success.

For those interested in joining in 2027, applications open in October 2026. https://www.maxwell.cam.ac.uk/programmes/impulse
