Help Us
Leicester Startups is a non-profit organisation and much of our effort is supported by founders like you.
If you’re an experienced startup founder or expert in a field that’s specifically useful to startups, why not register on our Help Engine so you can help other founders.
Want to give back financially whilst putting your brand in front of thousands in the local business community? Why not sponsor us or one of our events?
Tell us about other local founders in your network who might be interested in joining. They need to be working on a startup (or startup idea) that’s innovative and potentially scalable. We don’t support traditional lifestyle, freelance or agency model businesses. Contact us if you’re not sure.
Interact with us on social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter). This helps amplify our message and attract new members, mentors, venue hosts, etc.
Run an event. If you want to run something that’s relevant to startups we can help you find a venue and promote the event for you. Contact us with your event plans.
Tell us about venues we could use for events.
