What we do

Leicester Startups is a community for existing & aspiring entrepreneurs. We organise and promote mentoring, talks, advice, collaboration and workspace offerings with a “give first” ethos. Find out more…

We’re able to do this thanks to the very generous startup community and partner organisations. For 2025, we’re being sponsored by The British Business Bank and The Sir Thomas White Loan Charity. Find out more about these and our other partners below…
