Community

The Techscaler community connects people at all stages of the startup journey and across the wider ecosystem, across all of Scotland and beyond. We know building, growing and being in a startup can be hard but you don’t have to do it on your ownIt’s a space to connect, (both online and offline) where you can ask for support, offer advice, and swap stories with your peers.

By bringing together people within the tech ecosystem in a welcoming and inclusive environment, relationships are forged and interactions made which contribute to the success of startups and give people a safe, supportive environment in which to grow.

Regional Hubs

The ideal place to meet up in-person with the community, our hubs provide workspace for startups. Each region has a Head of Regional Engagement who’s there to support the local community and direct members to the right resources to help them on their startup and scaleup journey.
