Following sold-out startup showcases in UK Tech Week 2026 and Climb2026, Venture.Community is delighted to take part in Leeds Digital Festival for another stellar line up of fantastic founder presentations!
- Expect panel chats packed with experts and opinion-formers, including VCTs, exited founders, investors and advisers from our 300+ strong international membership, founded and grounded in Yorkshire.
- Not a member and want to do your thing in our founder showcase?
Get in touch and secure a slot (where available) alongside the founders we have supported in raising £24M to date. Particularly if you rep an underserved background or demographic. We would love to have you involved.
- Our community benefits from visionary people, particularly active from pre-seed to series A, across a wide range of deep tech, climate, manufacturing, medical, academic and compute tech disciplines. Come along, get involved, network and get to know us.
Places for presentation slots and the networking reception are strictly limited.
Founders seeking to join in are encouraged to apply.
Founders and future founders from historically underserved backgrounds are particularly encouraged to come along.
Dietary and access requirements are appreciated in advance.
Founders, early-stage investors, angels, VCs and start-up community members.
