We’re growing the Northern tech economy. Help us to ensure that the North of England achieves its potential. Founded by serial tech entrepreneur Dr Adam Beaumont and backed by The Northern Powerhouse, we are dedicated to building a stronger and more connected tech investor and start-up community across the North of England. We connect people and ideas, linking together the region’s uniquely innovative potential, which is currently dispersed across diverse and growing urban hubs. Based in Leeds and Manchester, we’re dynamic, approachable, politically neutral, straight talking and friendly. So we’re easy to access, provide high quality, useful advice and ‘tell-it- like-it-is’, even when it might be easier not to. Aligned with the strategic growth ambition of our Northern Powerhouse partners we are experts in: Cybersecurity, Fintech, Health-tech, Media-tech, and Tech-for-good. Our excess revenue, after deducting very lean running costs, goes into a fund to provide grants for tech-for-good social enterprise.
