What we do

Got an idea? You're in the right place.

We support founders, startups and entrepreneurs. That's just fancy words for anyone with an idea they want to get going. You don't need a business plan or a title. You just need something you keep coming back to.

  • A new business
  • A side project
  • A new product or service
  • A better way of doing things in the business you're already in
  • A problem worth solving

Programmes to get you moving

Hands-on Traction programmes with experienced mentors. Work out if your idea has legs, test it with real people and leave knowing your next step. Then six months of follow-up so it keeps moving.

People in your corner

A community of locals working on ideas of their own. The best stuff often happens by chance - a chat over coffee, an introduction, someone who's already done what you're trying to do.

A place to do the work

Co-working here means working alongside people, not just renting a desk. Get on with your own work, with people around you who'll swap notes, share a contact or tell you what worked for them.
