Evo Pioneers - A new initiative for aspiring entrepreneurs and creatives.
Evo Pioneers – Peckham Levels is a 12-month programme combining business support, community and workspace for aspiring entrepreneurs and creatives in the local area.
Are you looking to turn your side hustle into your main squeeze? Or need the space to let your big business idea grow?
Starting a business needs you to be the CEO, Finance, HR, Sales and Marketing all rolled into one. The hardest part? You’re often doing it all on your own.
The good news is that we are here to help!
Evo Pioneers combines free workspace with business workshops and peer to peer support to create the strongest foundations for new businesses to grow. We have ten spaces for aspiring entrepreneurs and creatives to join our business community at The Trampery Peckham Levels.
