Startup Cities... Sheffield We Need You!
by Startacus Admin
As August dims into September and summer gives way to the fresh winds of autumn we cast our eyes northward and take a long and discerning look at Sheffield our September startup city.
So far in our tour of UK and Ireland startup cities we have paid a visit to Belfast, Bristol, Glasgow and Manchester and fully expect that September startup month will be the most inspiring yet!
During September we will be putting the startup scene of Sheffield under our magnifying glass as we take a good long look at everything from startup events to innovative new businesses, social enterprises, creative goings-on and other interesting things that we stumble across along the way!
How can you get involved?
None of this can happen without you! We need as many of Sheffield’s finest as possible to get involved and lend a helping hand!
Maybe you have a great new startup that you want to shout about, maybe you run an entrepreneurial event, maybe you know the Sheffield startup scene inside-out or maybe you just want to tell us what you think - whatever the reason we want to hear from you!
Startups, creatives, self starters and entrepreneurs of Sheffield this is your call to action, an opportunity to showcase to the world, all that your city has to offer and tell your startup tale.
