StartSoc helps startups. The Start Society is a volunteer led social enterprise that exists to help entrepreneurs help themselves. We are a fledgling industry body representing tech startup entrepreneurs (because they are the centre of the ecosystem), and their enablers (e.g. investors, educators, regulators). We focus on tech entrepreneurs aiming globally (because they are the most leveraged way of creating wealth and social impact) and supporting their supporters because it takes a diverse ecosystem to raise great startups. We provide a range of services to help entrepreneurs, particularly tech startup entrepreneurs aiming for global niche markets with a scalable product. Examples include - - Deals on leading cloud hosting, services marketplaces, education, technologies and tools (like collectives and buying groups) - Space at our own facilities and suitable facilities in the ecosystem (like coworking) - Insight via online databases of locations, investors, mentors, industry verticals, educators and much more (like researchers and think tanks) - Representation via policy debate, voting, lobbying and formation (like skilled trade guilds of self-employed professionals) - Independence of sponsors, transparency of operation and democratic by nature You can find out more about us at our website http://thestartsociety.com and from our About Us page at http://thestartsociety.com/about
