Brought to you by the team at Digital Plymouth, we would like to welcome you to **Rocket Duck**, the new event series for Plymouth's future founders.

As a team who have cofounded agencies, product businesses and Digital Plymouth back in 2012 (when we didn't have grey hair), we know its not always that easy to start something, and sometimes people need a space and a place to get together, to meet future co-founders to get their startup off the ground.

We're here to help you find collaborators, learn from experts in a fireside chat format to inspire you to take the next step.

**Who's This For?**

If you're reading this, probably you. Rocket Duck is for...

* **The Entrepreneur:** You've got a great idea but need co-founders to help build it.

* **The Ambitious:** You want to be part of a start-up and are ready to dive into the journey.

* **The Specialist:** You're a developer, designer, marketer, or strategist with top-notch skills, just looking for the right idea to back.

* **The Veteran:** You've already built a business and want to share your hard-earned wisdom with those just starting out.

**The Flight Plan**

We've crafted a series of meetups to give you the fuel you need, culminating in a full-on launch weekend.

**Part 1: The Rocket Duck Meetups**

It all kicks off with three meetups, starting at **The Roundabout in Plymouth**. This is your chance to meet other fledgling entrepreneurs and hear stories from those who've already been on the journey.

And yes, if you're feeling brave, you can even pitch your concept in a friendly, low-pressure, no-risk environment.

**Part 2: The Finale (The Rocket Duck Launchpad)**

This is the big one in March 2026. A full weekend packed with non-stop mentoring and hands-on workshops. We’ll get your idea battle-tested and your pitch-perfect, so you're ready for anything.

The goal is to land a coveted spot on the **TechSW Growth Forge Accelerator**.

This is your fast track. It’s the opportunity to stop dreaming and start building, turning your lightbulb moment into a real-world business.
