What's involved
Firstly do what you're already doing to support entrepreneurs locally and otherwise - but more effectively with the help of a network.
Secondly help find and alert other co-founders in your locale - you probably already know them. Pick up the phone.
Finally: work with them to set a date and get the first meeting together - with help from us.
Three's a crowd - so as soon as you have three co-founders we'll create your starter-hub - so you can show your crowd and help gather people, send you an info-pack and support you in getting your first event together!
We'll keep your hub open to new co-founders until your first event - or until you ask us to close the list.
