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…
The Sir Thomas White Loan Charity (STWLC) is all about supporting new and developing businesses and helping them to be successful – but it can be difficult to find the time to meet like-minded people and feel supported.
Building on STWLC's sell-out events from the last two years, the Charity is repeating the winning formula of great venue, great people and great networking – because the STWLC family is here to help. This event, held in a beautiful rooftop venue in the heart of Leicester, will help you to connect with local businesses, supporters and people just like you who are running their own business. It is a great chance to feel inspired and recharge, celebrating one anothers small beginnings and big ideas, all at a very local level.
