Since July 2018, we’ve been running our in-person Founders’ Friday events on the last day of each month as a way for self-employed freelancers, startup founders, micro business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs & students to come together in a fun, friendly & informal way to learn about the latest opportunities to start or grow a business in the North East of England.
(It’s also one of the best ways for business advisers, investors, funders & members of the public sector to get closer to pre-start & early stage business owners in the region).
Until COVID restrictions allow us to run physical events again, our Founders’ Friday events now take place inside our private Facebook Group. To watch them as they happen & to join the conversations with other Members of our Startup Week Community any day of the week, you first need to join our Community.
In the meantime, here are some of the talks, presentations & interviews from our event on 30th April:

All talks are shared inside our private Facebook Group for Members of our Startup Week Community to see first, then uploaded to our Newcastle Startup Week YouTube Channel, embedded into a blog on our website (like this one) & shared across all our social media accounts to it’s a great way to raise your profile & find potential customers / clients.
