Today&Tomorrow initiative
A free 6-week sprint of design and digital support, to help your business build a better tomorrow
Our initiative
The business landscape is tough, particularly for startups. We’ve created our Today&Tomorrow initiative to give one deserving healthcare-focused company £40,000 of Studiomade strategy, creative and digital services. By partnering together, we want to help build a better tomorrow in a way that positively impacts people’s lives.
The successful applicant can use our studio allocation for commercial strategy, UI and UX design, digital development and branding. Together, we'll choose what will provide the most value to you in your journey. We could help you create your first product prototype, review and enhance an existing product, or refresh your brand to present a stronger proposition to customers and investors.
We are inviting applications from solo founders and early stage HealthTech startups. The winner will have access to our design expertise and strategic insights, to help you accelerate your growth, connect with investors, and make an impact in the digital health sector.
