We’re delighted to share that United Parents has been selected to join the Breakthrough Accelerator, part of Breakthrough Founders and powered by Catalyst, one of the UK and Ireland’s leading hubs for innovation. Catalyst supports over 500 founders each year, and joining this programme marks a major milestone in the business’s journey.
Being invited into a second competitive programme within such a short time highlights the growing recognition of the need for trusted, parent-to-parent school-run carpooling, and the promise United Parents holds in addressing congestion, emissions, and stress around UK schools.
Breakthrough Founders is a UK-wide initiative created to give early-stage entrepreneurs the support, networks to grow successful businesses.
“The Breakthrough Accelerator puts us on a clearer path to scale. We are only 3 weeks in and I have gained so much insights and connections, which is helping us strengthening our business model, preparing for our pre-seed round.” – Auriane Cirasuolo
With the support of Catalyst and Breakthrough Founders, we are better equipped than ever to prepare for our 2026 school pilots and to scale our solution across East Anglia and beyond.
