Why Businesses Love The Scottish Startup Hub
Why Businesses Love The Scottish Startup Hub
Real businesses, real results with The Scottish Startup Hub.
Real businesses, real results with The Scottish Startup Hub.
"The Scottish Startup Hub is a fantastic initiative. Scotland has an abundance of talent and experience, but we don’t always shout about it—perhaps due to cultural norms. Whether that’s a strength or a weakness is open to debate, but one clear challenge it creates is that collaboration can be harder, and many people remain unaware of the incredible assets and skills around them. The Scottish Startup Hub cuts through this barrier."

"The Scottish Startup Hub is a brilliant way of connecting ambitious founders and builders across Scotland. As a country with a proud history of innovation and academic prestige, I've often thought the ecosystem seems a bit disconnected, but schemes like the Scottish Startup Hub are going a long way to change that for the better, and realise our potential as a hub for innovation!"

"The Scottish Startup Hub has been an important resource for us as first time founders in Scotland. Founding a business can be a lonely experience but the connections we’ve made and support we’ve received has been invaluable to us. For any Scottish founder, investor or anyone generally interested in the Scottish startup ecosystem, I can’t recommend it enough."

"The tech and startup founder meetups have been an incredible way to build an entrepreneurial community in Edinburgh. It's a great platform to showcase technology, learn about new solutions in the build, and create awareness of new opportunities, serving as a vehicle to hire top talent. Two people I met at the meetups have joined our team. It took several months for that to happen, but the events were a way of raising awareness of us while building trust with potential candidates. It was good for us to know more about the candidate when they applied."

“The Scottish Startup Hub is exactly what our ecosystem needed, a single place to see the breadth and depth of what’s being built here. At Foras, we work with founders every day who are scaling globally, and having a central directory, events calendar, and resources makes it 10x easier to connect the dots. It’s already becoming the go-to reference point for anyone serious about startups in Scotland, whether you’re a founder, investor, or ecosystem partner. We’ll be pointing people to it constantly.”
