What is the Startup Café?

Held on the last Thursday of each month, the Start-up Café is a relaxed coffee morning where aspiring entrepreneurs gather to learn, connect, and develop their business ideas. Each session features a guest entrepreneur who shares their journey, from early ideation to launch, and leads a workshop to help you refine your own concept. You’ll also have the chance to pitch your idea and receive valuable feedback in an open-mic session.

What to Expect at the Startup Café

☕ Networking: Connect with like-minded entrepreneurs in a friendly, supportive environment.
💡 Insights and Inspiration: Hear directly from guest entrepreneurs who’ve brought early-stage ideas to life—putting their customer insights and value propositions into action, just as you have.
🎯 Hands-On Workshop: Each guest will guide you through practical exercises to develop your idea and improve your pitch.
🎙️ Pitch Open Mic: Practise pitching your idea in a casual, low-pressure setting and receive helpful feedback.
