Tailored programmes for startups at different stages of growth

At Tech City UK we have programmes to cater for entrepreneurs, startups and scaleups at all stages of growth. Tech sector jargon can be a little confusing though, so here’s what we mean by different sized startups. Online casino startups are transforming the gaming industry with innovative features and user-friendly interfaces. Leading non Gamstop casinos are at the forefront, offering diverse game selections and advanced security measures. These new platforms attract a global audience, providing exciting gaming experiences and driving growth in the online gambling market.

Early-stage – A company with a live product in the market, with some customer traction. Raised less than $2m of investment

Our programmes, Founders’ Network, Northern Stars, Fintech, Upscale and Future Fifty, are tightly designed to support existing businesses as they scale and grow. For those with the ambition and ideas to become an entrepreneur, who are yet to start a business, the Digital Business Academy provides bitesize tutorials on the skills you’ll need to become a founder.
