We are absolutely delighted to have TECH SY as a partner for ClimbUK #climb24 by Investor Ladder. The agenda has just gone live on www.climb24.co.uk and we have an incredible speaker list (which isn't yet complete on the website). We have 4 main stages with over 50 sessions focused on everything from growing a #team, spinning out a business, raising #finance, improving your #marketing and going global through to fireside chats with successful #entrepreneurs sharing their experiences and expertise and industry #leaders talking about what is happening in your sector. We have over 50 masterclasses, round tables and industry meetings, with "zones" acting as the places to hang out between sessions - making networking a lot simpler and focused. The #Climb24 will allow you to find potential partners, collaborators, customers and investors with ease, and of course this is going to be in a relaxed but high energy environment. There will of course also be a lot of social activities over the 2 days and all less than the price for the train ticket to London! I have seen so many amazing businesses and programmes in #southyorkshire over the past 12 months. This is also an opportunity to not only grow your own business, but to showcase the region to #national and #international #investors.

#Startups at #climb24 I have just had a call with a #founder and they hadn’t realised that there is a special #ticket for #companies with less that 2 employees for #climb24 Climb is designed to help any #business at whatever stage to develop and grow. It is also an ideal place for people who are still thinking about setting off on the journey of starting a #company It is also not all about raising investment - in fact we have sessions titled “equity is not the only answer”. This is all about helping businesses succeed, and grow - taking the stress from founders in a friendly and safe environment. Although some businesses did raise funding from people they met at Climb last year - isn’t that right James Sutherland This is not a boring conference or an exhibition of professionals trying to sell their services. This is a genuine high energy festival vibe where you can meet, talk to and learn from people who have genuinely been through the journey, run successful companies and who invest in growth businesses. Climb24 is like nothing you have seen before. It brings the best of other events under one roof. We collaborate with the networks and groups who are seen to add the most value, and we do it in a way that is truely engaging Main stage chat shows, interviews, workshops, master classes, networking and social events with like minded founders who are keen to help develop and grow. Hear what founders thought about Climb23 - and see the awesome guests we had last year to get a view of what we are bringing this year (the lineup is even bigger in 2024) So book your startup ticket now at www.climb24.co.uk UBS Ellie Edwards Rae Walters British Business Bank Cat Smith Sophie Dale-Black PhD Louis Taylor Innovate UK Mel Selvon Ellyard Jinali Thacker Bruce Colley Innovate UK Knowledge Transfer Partnerships Rachel Beach VeUP Andy Sands Shay O'Carroll EHE Ventures Guy Remond Creative UK Dan Chilcott West Yorkshire Combined Authority Lorna Holroyd Squire and Partners Andrea Cropley Barclays Eagle Labs Barclays Eagle Labs Chris Winn Luca Forte Nexus Leeds Sheffield Technology Parks Tom Wolfenden Tech SY Tracey Johnson Exchange at Department Baltic Ventures Lloyds Banking Group Natalie Boswell Peter Hopton Patrick Smith Need to find a better way to tag all our awesome partners.

Big funding news time! Colossyan secured 22M$ funding round. Congratulations! Well done guys! This funding is powered by „Lakestart” as well as existing investors such as „Launch Hub”, „Day One Capital”, and „Emerge Education”. Marius Iustrate also joins the investors club at Colossyan. We had the pleasure to host the parties on The ScaleUp Fest last year: Marius Iustrate and Colossyan's CEO, as well as Day One Capital, and not just that but as panelists in the same session! Maybe this was a good starting point for investment initiative discussion The current round is meant to secure further product development and it was announced after 5M $ that was secured just 1 year before. Colossyan is a synthetic #ai video production tool, focusing on the niche of corporate training videos. Backed up by 600% growth and clients such as Porsche, Vodafone, and Paramount. Great new opportunities to come this year at TheScaleUp Fest (soon to be announced). Networking is crucial for business success. #thescaleupfest2024 #thescaleupEventsEurope #ScaleUpOpportunitiesCEERegion #thescaleupfestBudapest #fundingoppotunities
