Where collaboration meets innovation
Benefit from being part of an entrepreneurial and vibrant community
Innovation & Technical
Know-How
ONE SeedPod offers more than just physical space – it provides access to a deep pool of technical knowledge and sector-specific expertise. Whether you're working on a new formulation, testing a process improvement, or solving a tricky production challenge, the community includes chefs, technologists, and specialists who can help.
Being part of this network opens the door to collaborative problem-solving, shared innovation, and invaluable peer support. It’s a place where food scientists and creative makers cross paths – and where bold ideas become viable commercial propositions. With know-how right next door, you don’t have to figure everything out on your own. You can draw on tried and tested input, avoid common pitfalls, and move faster and smarter as you build.
Learning & Mentoring Support
ONE SeedPod is a place to learn as well as do. Entrepreneurs and business leaders can access a range of sector-specific learning opportunities, from hands-on workshops and leadership mentoring to business development programmes designed around the real-world challenges of managing and growing food and drink enterprises.
Mentors, facilitators, and industry leaders provide not only skills training, but also encouragement, accountability, and strategic input. Whether you're navigating a pivot, planning for investment, or building a team, this support helps you to grow as a founder while building the foundations of a strong, sustainable business. It’s an opportunity to invest in your development – and unlock the next stage of your journey.
Co-working & Collaboration Opportunities
ONE SeedPod brings people together – not just under one roof, but in a shared ecosystem of ambition, creativity, and peer support. The co-working environment is welcoming, practical, and designed for collaboration. From chance conversations to strategic partnerships, the space encourages ideas to flow and relationships to grow.
It’s a flexible setting for informal chats, deep work, team sessions, or simply spending time around others who understand the trials and tribulations of running a food business. Shared experiences and different perspectives can help to spark inspiration – and co-location leads naturally to new opportunities – and to co-creation too. Indeed, for many, the community will be as valuable as the building itself – and together they create a place where you can feel supported, connected, and part of something bigger in the food and drink world.
An empowering and entrepreneurial community
You can be part of an entrepreneurial community designed to support food and drink innovators and business founders and leaders at every stage – from early scale-up to international expansion – with dedicated technical, business and marketing know-how you need when you need it.
Tailored learning and leadership mentoring are also available onsite together with a wide range of co-working and collaboration opportunities to encourage real peer-to-peer engagement.
