To be able to tell them about what we are doing with Rockstar Youth and encourage them to make their business dreams a reality is inspiring.”

Rockstar Youth MD and founder Jonathan Pfahl, himself a 31 year old dynamic entrepreneur, said: “With the Kiss stamp on the incubators we expect huge numbers applying to attend these incubators. Having already met with and processed successful applications of the fantastic talent from around the country, talks are already underway to follow these up with more incubators UK wide.”
