Birmingham is fortunate enough to benefit from a growing vibrant technology community. As a founder, you often feel alone, but you never are; there’s a ton of support out there that’s available and useful. This workshop will go over some top tips on how to map out and access your ecosystem, who to reach out to, how to get your foot in the door, and what conversations will be valuable for you.
The session is brought to you by Margaret Anne and Perdie, Co-Founders of Spice Startups who have done exactly this. After working in the London tech ecosystem for over 8 years between them, they’ve gone on to build communities in other UK cities, growing relationships, and helping founders take advantage of the vast amount of support available.
