Growth Studio Launches New Accelerator Programme for Wellness Businesses

Growth Studio has announced the launch of Breakout Wellness UK, a new accelerator programme designed to help promising UK wellness founders scale and build globally successful brands. Applications are now open for the intensive eight-week programme, which begins in September 2026 with ten carefully selected participants.

The programme will focus on businesses in areas such as gut health, functional nutrition, hydration, sleep, and stress management. It has secured backing from prominent industry leaders and entrepreneurs, including Hamish Grierson of Thriva, Alana McFarlane Kempner of The Gut Stuff, Millie Goldsmith of SULT, and Arjun Sofat of FreeSoul.

Participants will receive expert guidance from Growth Studio's team, alongside specialists from HSBC Innovation Banking, TikTok Shop, and The Finishing Line. Retailers will also provide support and commercial opportunities throughout the programme. Paul Finch, Co-Founder of Growth Studio, highlighted the dynamic £170 billion UK wellness market and the programme's aim to help founders overcome scaling challenges.

Growth Studio has over a decade of experience in delivering accelerator programmes internationally. The programme will conclude with a Grand Finale in November, where two selected founders will each receive a £150,000 TikTok Shop support package to aid their growth.
